11/25/03 The clocks in my apartment are now synchronized. The former setup was interesting. When I'd leave my bedroom and enter the living room I'd suddenly be transported seven minutes into the past. Entering the kitchen pushed me back even further into the past. It's about time. Pun intended. Of course I synchronize my clocks but I continue to procrastinate on cleaning up my bedroom. waiting I hate it when I meet someone cool and I log in waiting to see if they're going to be online and they don't come online. Phooey. In Yer Dreams! I dreamt that I had overslept and completely missed one of the monthly meetings at work. The funny thing was the dream was completely devoid of the breathless desperation of high school dreams where one misses a class or a test without any recourse to make up the time. What I remember most was that it was very sunny outside. The dream ended with me making friends with lots of big dogs. The pooches didn't talk but they were affable and wonderful company until I woke up. dodged that bullet Monday night was supposedly a big meeting that had my panties in a wad to the point that it was featured in a dream. Turns out the meeting was covering old shit and remarking on the fuckups that other people did so I can rest easy and not fret. Scariest bit was around 4:30 when my department manager came out to have a smoke. I wasn't about to head home for an hour so I sat on the back steps, writing ideas for December and practicing Esperanto pronunciation. My anxiety stemmed from the fact that whenever something big has come down management always take people outside for a confidential conversation. I put on the worst, phoniest smiley happy face waiting for the other shoe to drop but she was just out there for a smoke. Jesus Christ it fucking sucks coming home at 6 p.m. because of work. in closing I have new desktop wallpaper. The previous wallpaper was "A Friend in Need" featuring the poker playing dogs.
