Woke up this morning from a nightmare-ish kinda thing where I scared the nightmare by the end of it?

The dream fell under the idea that, for whatever reason, my work mates and I had to temporarily work at another job (I’m a software engineer mind you) and I forgot my pen on day one so all the people working at the new place thought I was awful and usess. But I know I’m not so I just got mad at them for being assholes. And they assigned me to like….some weird pseudoscience where I was trying to measure colored chain to create energy or something.

And there was this non-binary person (the place was super diverse, I’ll grant them that) and their crew who kept taunting me while I was trying to work. Their name was AJ. I snarked back at them and AJ threatened to pee on my project. So I shrugged and dared then to do it.

And they did.

And by now I was furious because this job was stupid and everyone thought I was an idiot and I deserve better. So I got really close to AJ, gave them a creepy smile, and in a discordant many-voice not unlike the delightful children from down the lane I said “Thanks AJ” over and over and over. They looked terrified and kept trying to leave but I was always there with my chorus of “Thanks AJ”

It felt pretty good.

on a scale of 1 to john oliver commissioning a competing picture book about mike pence’s rabbit with a storyline about same sex marriage and democracy and tolerance, releasing that book a day before the release of mike pence’s picture book, and then donating proceeds from the book to the trevor project and aids united, how (righteously) petty are you
