In a big meeting, only half paying attention, but they're talking about strategies for my division, or whatever. One of them was apparently to lay off some people (for money's sake), but they're calling it "reduce global headcount".
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah, jargon.
I skipped a team breakfast this morning to work on annual reviews (mine and others'), but then I went online and I don't actually have access to them! Oh well.

Had a weird dream about dating someone who worked in a haunted waffle house last night.

Coding and Sleeping
I had a dream that I was cleaning upholstery last night. That is a very disappointing dream.

I am kind of intrigued by the haunted waffle house. Nsm by the upholstery.
"Reduce global headcount" sounds more ominous than layoffs. Kind of, what's the word, Malthusian.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Last night I dreamed that they opened a restaurant in my bedroom without telling me. I went up to the hostesses demanding to talk to the manager, but my alarm went off before anything happened.

Our wings are not tired.
Dreams that involve work and chores are the worst.

I once dreamed that I woke up, got ready, and went to work ... then the alarm went off and I had to start over. SO exhausting.

I hate those, Toddson.
Ooh, maybe your dreamself is haunting the restaurant, Scola! It's all coming together.

I am kind of intrigued by the haunted waffle house.
It was a little locally owned breakfast diner in the downtown area of some vague large city, elevated from ground level with one big wall of windows that looked down on a busy street. The haunting wasn't really cinematic, just sometimes plates or glasses would scoot across tables.
