We returned to the office today, back 3 days a week until January and then it’s 4 days a week.

I have been saving money like mad so I wouldn’t be totally fucked if I just decided to call it quits. I’m glad I did that because that’s looking more and more like what will happen and will be happening sooner than later.

 

I don’t know where else to put this but I gotta write it down….i just had a strange dream. I’ve been going through a stranger things rewatch so probably explains why I was hanging out with, among some other people I didn’t know, Dustin, Nancy, and Jonathan from Stranger things. I was clearly a teenager in this dream, I was hanging out with Dustin and other non-ST people who weren’t exactly faceless but they weren’t people I know irl either. We were playing video games, swimming in my dad’s pool sort of, etc. Then we were hanging out with Nancy and Johnathan and…someone else who I think was Nancy’s friend, another random person I didn’t know. I think I was closer in age to them than the other kids. It was a very vivid dream, really felt like I was hanging out and having a blast. There was something going on, some sort of mystery, but not ST level, and most of the dream was spent hanging out at Dustin’s house (which had many aspects of other houses I’ve been in) and I was def flirting with either Nancy or her friend but can’t remember which. But then towards the end of the dream when we had all made the decision to have a sleepover so we didn’t all split up while whatever this mystery was that was happening, after it got late I realized I had an ankle bracelet on, and in the dream it was because I had apparently gotten a dui…which I thiiiink either happened earlier in that dream OR in a separate dream I had earlier in the night, because I vaguely remember dreaming about that too lol. But after 11 PM in lit up and started making noise and it made me realize I was probably out past curfew or something and I was like oh shit. I got woken up as I was saying emotional goodbyes to everyone because I knew I had to get home.

Just a very random, strange dream, very vivid. We all cared about each other a lot in the dream, reminded me of the friendships I used to have with some people as a teen.

 

ain't no damn way I'm reading all that

my fat-thumbed internet searches lately

 

On a scale of 1-10 how much would it piss off my enemies to come back

 

I live in an apartment building and the new people next to me carved a pumpkin last night and trying to decipher if I’m overthinking that it’s weird it’s facing directly into my living room window. They don’t have neighbors on the other side so the options would be:

- Face the parking lot so everyone can see it
- Face my living room window
- Face their own living room

when I look out my living room window this is immediately what greets me lol. Maybe they don’t even realize it faces my window and I’m overreacting but this was a double take for sure this morning

 

I'd be so good at being rich

I'd have an adorable house and cute clothes

I'd donate a ton and start funds for kids in foster care. Like if I was a popstar my entire GA section would just be kids in care who got free tickets.

I'd know all the fun celeb gossip and spill it all in a memoir or interviews before my like Quincy jones

I'd plant fake stories about me or lie in interviews for my amusement like Robert Pattinson

I'd give my fortune to make some sort of bullet train across the country and then an underground subway type situation in my city.

Money is wasted on the rich tbh!!!!

 

it must be so fun to have a wing in a museum or a bench with your name on it but our stupid billionaires are busy doing dumb shit

 

almost died last night

just more trauma to add on the pile

 

you okay?!

 

yeah, I'm alright. thank you for asking

 

I’d like to believe your neighbours intentionally faced it towards your window since that’s the funniest option

 

I'll be in the hospital tomorrow, hopefully not overnight but my health has deteriorated so much that I can't imagine I won't have to. it's all for the best tho. hopefully I'll be able to switch medications and get better sooner than later.

 

There tons of versions of the meme of “I accidentally became important at work and now everything is terrible” and I’m basically living that phrase and today I realized I’ve been slowly gravitating higher and higher up the white collar nonsense business ranks and I don’t like it at all.

Suddenly I “need” to be at every useless meeting and pre-planning meeting and people want my opinions on things and I don’t like any of that shit. I just wanna work and be busy for 8 hours a day and then that’s it. No team dinners, no giant group discussions and brainstorming sessions, none of it.

I feel like I’m in a sitcom. I’ll make scathing remarks about how our company and decision makers are dumb as shit and everyone laughs like it’s either a joke or they laugh because “I’m the only one being honest” about how dumb things are. I said something in a meeting yesterday that even had me pause and think maybe I went too far and my boss’s boss leans over and says, “I hope you never leave, your candid spirit and attitude is exactly what we need” like what the fuck lol just fix shit so we don’t have to be so frustrated all the time

 

This gives big George Costanza vibes

 

RE: doorwall
Do people really not call it Devil’s Night?

 

Nope not a thing here.

 

if they're religious enough

 

I’ve never even heard of that before. Had no idea it was a thing.

 

Iowa/Des Moines area had beggars night.




They actually got rid of it for good this year. So now we’re normal

 

Same here. Didn’t know it existed until this post

 

Never heard of that. NH/TN

 

Starting a new job on Monday and will be the first time I work in an actual office since January 2020 when pandemic WFH era started.

i am a little excited. Like it's the first day of school or something. I loved WFH but it'll be nice to be socialized again lol

 

This is exactly why my dad refused to ever be promoted to management, and instead helped unionize his workplace, and now because of seniority is making manager level pay in a non manager role, picking his shifts. and will get a pension when retires in 3 years.
