Awkward Kissing and IceCream Cone Rain

In some house I'd never been in that was supposed to be mine... him and his wife were staying the night... talk about awkward... as we both tried to completely avoid each other.

At the same time, KC was trying to make out with me, but was a really bad kisser.. all just sticking out his tongue... then he gave me a hickey.

Some lady fronted the money for all of the ice cream cones we had made to give away from for my birthday - I was trying to find some way to repay her for that debt wasn't hers...it was supposed to be mine.

it was raining.

Frantic Home Not-So-Sweet Home

I had gotten off the wrong exit to get to work.. it was as if I had been working back in Seattle... and for some reason, since I already got off the freeway I couldn't drive... I had to walk.... so it was something like 4  blocks uphill before I could cross over for the straight shot to work.

Once there, it was my current office now and I found out that he had relocated and was now working from my office - they moved him and his co-worker to sit behind me... he directly behind me.. her behind him.  Uggghhh.

To block out him and her talking back and forth I stuck my headphones in and started playing my music... but then realized for some reason it was playing really loud through speakers at my desk... I adjusted the volume down... put the headphones back in and then pulled them out to find the music was still too loud.. adjusted the volume again.

My desk was covered in and full of Costco sized cleaning supplies.. that I was trying to quickly organize and put away so I could get to my work and focus on what had to actually be done... I went to take some things to the recycle bin and found the music was loud again.. turned it down and tried to pull the batteries out or fiddle with the headphones only or headphones and speakers switch that was under the battery compartment.

Across from he who now sat behind me, was another co-worker from another site, and I looked at him with big eyes and tilted my head towards the cube... he knows of the situation and shrugged... I felt frantic... a Senator, his wife and son had arrived for a presentation  (a senator, wtf? - I don't fucking do politics!) - but they arrived at the 2nd building across the parking lot.  I went to go retrieve them and realized that Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home started playing through the speakers - there was nothing I could do - I had to leave to redirect these guest to the correct place.... but I started running when I realized after that song is over something else could come on and louder than what I left it when I left.   Part of me wanted him to use it as an excuse to be moved away from me.. but I was not wanting to annoy the whole office...

As I was running back my pant legs seemed to just get longer and longer making running really difficult...

San Diego Bang Rolls

We traveled to San Diego and arrived at a dinner party at some restaurant where each person at the long table, that stretched nearly the whole backside of the restaurant, had unique blown glass straws in their drink.  Apparently this place was also a salon... I said I wanted my bangs back and got to choose between two different styles... I went with the more layered bang look and they had to dig into the bread basket to find the dinner roll that resembled how they were going to cut my hair.

Scattered Seattle Sass

I had to take a work trip to Seattle for a 2 hour training.  When the training was over I couldn't remember if I had booked a hotel or not.  Friend that lives there called me and came to hang out - He said he would use the restroom for me cause my clothes were too complicated to get on/off. - But I ended up using myself anyways.  While I was in this restroom Will Sasso called me... he thought I was following him via some social media app cause I wanted to commission him for some type of manual labor work... I explained no, and that I just thought he was funny.  He didn't end the call instead he stayed on it and we had multiple moments of awkward silence.  I realized it was late... 2 am... and my friend had gone to his bed and was sleeping... I let myself out of his house and broke into a 4th floor hotel room to change my clothes... while I was changing the hotel maid came in to clean cause it was supposed to be an unoccupied room.  I saw her through the crack in the doorway to the bathroom realize the room was occupied and scurried to set stuff up.  I thought for sure that she was going to tell so I hurried up and struggled to get everything that was scattered about back in my suitcase so I could go and properly pay for a room for the night.

Claustrophobic Cruise

1st time on a cruise ship... I couldn't figure out how to open the door - there was a food port and I was worried that that was the actual entrance into my tiny room and there was no way I was going to fit.. I could barely get my arm through...

My Mom and Dad had a bigger and much more luxurious room and I went there to look at their door to see how it worked.. returned to mine and reached my arm through the food port and felt around up and over to the left for the latch to open the door... the room was only big enough to accommodate a twin bed...talk about claustrophobia.

Germany and Robots 1 & 2

Could easily travel to Germany... in the dream it was Germany, but in reality it would have been Austria.. to see my great grandmother.  Just had to travel over the overpass and through some time-warp bend... her house was small and sat in the middle of a preserve of sorts.. part of it was open and then upstairs had a room with 2 small beds.  I wasn't comfortable staying too long, I didn't feel part, so came back home leaving Mom and Sisters behind to visit.

There was some movie, though I didn't realize we were making a movie, that forced us to get rid of all of the robots that had been created to help humans.. When we started filming part 2... it was to bring the robots back because they found that they actually did help us.  I was frustrated with people going back and forth over the same thing and not having all their data before making a decision.

I woke up with a cut or a burn on my index finger... I don't know where it came from.. it wasn't there when I went to bed.

Stuck

-frag-
Literally and figuratively stuck in the mud.

LA Jet-Lag Anxiety Avoidance

I was asked to travel to a work-site that I didn't want to be at... it's not even a site I'm responsible for... 1st I had to travel to another place to do some training... and then we boarded a jet that could take off straight up without having to do a standard runway takeoff... it also could drive on the freeway in the LA traffic w/o issue.   However when we got near to the destination... I hopped another flight and just came home.  We are not required to travel for these conversions anymore and why did I have to go to to the So Cal one? - 2nd level boss came to visit to see why I skipped out - explained just that.. they don't need to know any thing more than that... but I'm sure my face gave away the extreme discomfort of the potential of what I would have to face there.

fuck work dreams. and fuck still dreaming about THAT.  and fuck me for even getting myself into that situation.

Well Known, No Name Ciabatta

I was dating one of those actors that are well known, but no one knows their name... that guy in that thing.  He had a special evening planned but as we arrived to the hotel, the plan was thwarted by Rosie Perez - she needed him to watch her kid because of an emergency she said.  

I was making a sandwich on a 7 grain ciabatta with lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese when he realized he had been lied to and she was just looking for a night alone w/o kids.

Fragmented Spaz

They were harder to detect... the ones that would just spaz out and bite you.  Walking through the airport full of people you had to be on high guard.  We were all going to meet at a big panel van... but I ended up in a BMW with some shady people that I couldn't escape... I convinced them to return me to the airport where I attempted again to make it to the van.

A girl from HS was there waiting.... she was pregnant and trying to get back to her boyfriend.

We visited a recent retiree and he admitted that he had been her lover and that he was the father of her child.

Spending the night in a house I wanted to buy, but it was not for sale.  The night in the house that was for sale left much to be desired.

It was warm out.

Sensory Squatting & Bruised Bathing

While squatting to pee... I recalled it was Netflix that I forgot in a list of something I provided to someone... and was captured and forced into sensory deprivation.  While trying to escape I was slammed up against the corner of a cement block wall... I snuck around the backside and my sliding glass door was open just enough for me to squeeze through.

Flash to a public bathing area.. it was grey and ashy color as if it were underground... it was here I sat battered, bloody and bruised as someone cleaned me up in front of a small audience...I looked down at my hand and noticed one of my fingertips smashed with the bone exposed.

Infected Underwater Wine Witch

Frag.

Botched back tattoo on someone I wouldn't expect that was horribly infected.  He was encountered on our way to Japan where we were going to live for a month to dispel an underwater dead witch.
