At the Expense of Fitting In

 I worked in a store, much like I do now, with a distinct back and a distinct front. The front people knew I worked at Gamestop and were trying to make the break room “cool” for me because they thought I liked games but the efforts were done terribly. It was as if they had looked up “Radical Gamer Themes” in the late 80s or Early 90s. Lots of sunglasses. A poor drawing of Sonic the Hedgehog. I took a picture and sent it to Dan Smith who had some replied “At least they’re honest.” I sent a gif response of people in The Office running away from Erin’s desk which exploded.

Well Well Well If It Isn't Lana At the Crib.

  I had a dream that started where i would be leaving work and driving home a very long way and started to find shortcuts through all of these different rural areas and it felt a little like red dead redemption where you’d find these massive open plains and swamps and forests, but the game itself while i was driving would start to look like old boxy racing games, and i would be driving up on the walls, etc. to avoid other cars and animals and trees, and then eventually as i was getting back to the highway, it would look like the sonic the hedgehog bonus game where you had to run up the sides of the half pipe. I noticed one guy was driving the same way home as i was and he started to follow me and he passed me on the road and he nodded at me, but he ended up dying as the sonic road transitioned to the regular road back home. Like somehow his nervous system could not adapt to the shift from half pipe to highway. Then i was “home” at this house that i lived in and Jack was there and K...

Is this Your First Time Closing Alone (Graveyard Shift)

I had a dream that i had to close, but instead of just closing the starbucks i had to close an entire supermarket as well. And that meant not only counting the 16 registers (that was fin,e i could do it) but i also had to do all the floors and then do weird shit like closing the deli. This meant cleaning the huge piano that was there are twisting these glass bulbs onto different levers so that they wouldn’t get dusty (after i put the knobs on, the glass almost immediately started collecting dust) and also using specific chemicals to wipe down these blades that were in the ceiling and in the wall. It looked like a pizza oven but with a ton of blades. Like a huge version of a straight razor, kind of. I also had to spray for bugs. It was a huge hose attached to a massive perfect cube and i had to walk the edge of the entire store, hitting every point where the wall met the floor but also different places underneath furniture and underneath shelving. There were specific areas i could not s...

some new place.

  We were on our last day of some trip and i think there were a bunch of us all ready to go home or there was some kind of instance where we were all separating for something and we stopped at some kind of new resort. The feeling is that everything was new to us, but we all knew each other as well. We were walking down a road which was from the main area where we were (camp?) and were walking by these beautiful, beautiful vistas. Like, AI generated, no way they are real on earth, no way that they are places that haven’t been photographed before. One girl looked over the ledge of one giant valley (it looked almost like a massive meteor had hit it, so deep and round in the earth but it was covered covered in greenery and a huge waterfall. It looked like the rainforest and/or Ferngully.) and yelled the typical “Hellloooo” but her voice didn’t come back in a standard echo, instead it came back slower and lower, like it had altered her voice to be this giant thing. And when she spoke ...
