Dream

I was in a class room, but I understood it to be a Mixpanel office. We were forming groups to decide what project to work on. My mentor from Rincon was behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"New rules at Rincon. Only allowed to make certain variables in code. Made job real difficult. Taking a break to help you out."

I looked at my watch. 13:05. I was surprised. "It's already one!" My mentor looked as well. He didn't say what he read, but I knew he read a different number, I assumed he misread my watch upside down. "I should go find some lunch."

I walked down a hall and found myself in another classroom that was serving food. It was mac and cheese. Not vegan. I noticed some avocados and decided to eat that. Then, I decided to explore.

There's a vague memory of me being at a busy crossroad between the lunchroom and me being in the recess area of an elementary school. "It's already dark?" I asked at the night time. I looked at my watch: 18:00. "How's that possible? How did time move so quickly?" I checked to see if somehow I went back in time, but it was still the 19th (dream me knew remembered the date, interestingly enough).

There seemed to be some sort of event happening at the school. A man was standing at a booth outside the cafetaria. He had... baby badgers available. For what, I didn't ask. There was a puppy standing guard, making sure the baby badgers didn't escape.

I went inside the cafeteria. There was some sort of market setup inside. Various strange things were for sale, but I found myself not interested because none of it was vegan. I decided to further explore the school.

Down one hall, I ran into what I recognized as the principle of the school. "Principal X," I recall calling him by name, but do not remember the name I assigned him.

"Yes?"

"I didn't realize you still worked here. Remember me? Rory Ksionda?" He started to answer that he did not, but I cut him off. "It makes sense you don't. You've come across a million kids since me, I'm sure.

It was a lounge area. There were a group of moms talking on a couch about random things. One specific thing I remember, "Can you believe they think arming everybody is a good idea? Like that will solve the gun problem? Ridiculous." Politics even in my dream.

I realized I wasn't wearing shoes. "When did I lose my shoes?" I retraced my steps and found my shoes in the hall I had met with my imaginary old principle. There was talking from an office, so I peaked my head in.

"Rory?" said a woman seated near a computer. I recongized her as my old kindergarden teacher (note: my real kindergarden teacher was male).

"Oh, hey," I told her, "Glad to see you remember me."

"Hard to forget," she said. "I even have your old school diary." She went and got a book and opened to a page where I wrote about principle X. "You had the strangest imaginary friend."

....

The realization sunk in my stomach. Principle X wasn't real. "I just saw him just now." The teachers looked at each other. I wandered away, sensing danger.

At this point I had a flashback. I remembered my friend's brother. Except thinking on it, I realized my friend's brother wasn't real. I found myself back in the lounge area, alone. I now had a puppy companion.

"Are you all right?" a woman asked me.

"I don't know what's real!" I yelled at her. She smiled at me. "You're not real.... This dog isn't real." My friend's brother appeared. "I need mental help."

I began looking for a phone. I saw one on the armrest of a couch. "Why would a phone be there? That phone isn't real." The woman, the dog, and the brother were trying to distract me whilst I looked. I found a phone next to a sink and decided that one could be real.

I dialed 911. The phone twisted and cracked, breaking in my hand. I assumed it was a trick. The sink turned on, spraying me all over. "Hello! Hello! I'm goinginsane! I need mental help. Come to my location. I am seeing things that aren't real and maybe not seeing things that are. Send help. Send help."

And that was the end of my dream.

Last year, I found out my start date at Mixpanel. I noted I was excited to start building a good work-life balance.

Last month was my 28th birthday. I watched season 3 of Rick and Morty to celebrate.

Last week was a work from Tucson day. I got solid work in and hung out with some Tucson friends.

Fri Jul 20 19:42:04 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I thought I was at the end of my being sick. I felt well enough by the end of the work day to run home. I think that was a mistake, as today I now feel a bit worse. The walk to work was significantly more uncomfortable, and my head feels warm (though I took my temperature and do not have a fever).

I'll see how I feel and maybe leave work early today.

Work was hard today. Didn't mangage to accomplish anything. Got some pomodoros in, have an idea of what I need to do Monday.

Skipped climbing this whole week. Just think it's not smart whilst feeling this way.

Decided to play a ton of Overwatch today instead of personal projects.

Reading:

Listening: no Cortex today, actually. Listened to some YouTube videos during pomodoros (definitely didn't work).

Watching:

Finished review super early and don't want to force the pomodoro. Interrupting it.

Time to do a quick plan for tomorrow.
