Work
On a time study. We’re tracking this person. Theyve got a rabbit?
Gathered at work event. Many in attendance. On a big lawn together. Steve and an unknown lady talking about business? Someone says it’s hard to describe to people what we do, in a sort of dismissive way. I look around (suddenly we’re at Ania’s house) and offer that it’s really not, we just maximize what we take from the customer, and minimize accidents (I really meant minimize what we pay for the accidents). Later I also add — to myself — we also maximize customers. I think I saw Nathan Breitch there.
Andrew’s also here. I’m angry for some reason. Mark Motheral is making eggs and some sort of waffle bread thing. Makes me a plate. The eggs were clearly uncooked, raw eggs sitting in a bowl of bread, and apparently I’ve been making off-handed jokes all night and joked that mark couldn’t make eggs. I go to throw the plate out; Andrew says he’ll eat the eggs, and I feel wasteful throwing it out. Mark is offended, he’s doing his best, starts getting mad at me; I apologize and say I’ve been in a bad mood. Not sure if we resolved things.
It’s announced there’s a DND sword fight tournament in another location, so everyone gets up to leave. Except me. I stay behind and begin ripping my arm open with a knife, very depressed. Very graphically opening wounds on the top of my arm. I don’t go deep, I stay at the surface, but enough to draw lots of blood. I wake up. I feel a slight burning pain on my arm even awake for a few minutes.
Advanced climate change has set in. Los Angeles is much colder and tehachapi is frozen over. Me and Lisa’s family manage to take a train down south. We stay for a bit, observing the people spending their last time at the ocean.
I must go back. I return north, and don my samus power suit. The north is overrun with electric enemies including a giant electric worm boss. Luckily I just beat Metroid prime and I’ve got plenty of weapons. I defeat the central boss, and marvel that there are some people still here. Two men come out of a ship with a dolly moving some goods. They don’t notice me. I follow them to some sort of town hall.
