So Steve had a temper tantrum at work on Monday. I used to have some respect for him, but that sort of went out the window seeing a thirty-something man act like he's five. Honestly. He's just starting to get repetitive. 'I hate this place. I hate this place.' He won't leave because he wants to screw my boss over, but will probably end up just screwing the rest of us over, us who've done nothing to deserve it. Hopefully I'll be gone by then. Or I'll talk him out of it or just warn Evert that Steve's planning to do a no-show for about a week before flipping him the bird and saying 'I quit, you bastard.' I doubt Evert will be very much surprised. The thing is, if Steve finds out I've told Evert then our friendship is basically out the window. Must talk to him first. See if he's open to reason.
Wow, this actually sounds like I'm not some manipulative person half-planning to sell my friend's secrets. Which is what I thought it sounded like earlier today. But I really don't want some of the girls there to be put through crap just because Steve's immature. They're better than that.
I had this cool dream a Monday night. It sort of reminds me of this song by Holly McNarland that I really like, even though I don't quite know if the lyrics fit. The words are really emo, but the music is great.
I dreamt I was at this park on a hill with Caro and Jonathan. It was sort of like Heritage Park, with old buildngs and little stores that sell souvenirs.
Jonathan wanted to go down to the water. We were heading in that direction anyway. On the way down we saw an elephant disturb a picnic in the middle of the road. He went up to it and looked at the people and they all scattered. One girl didn't, but I think she moved eventually.
The elephant then stampeded down to the water, leaving all of us in his wake (which wasn't cool; he had gas).
I turned to this little girl off to the side of the road. She was going down to the water, and taking a baby boy with her. I got her to promise not to go far from the baby.
They all went down to the water, everyone I think except me. The hill was practically vertical down at the bottom, so they all got in and started swimming. The elephant, which had turned into a monster, ate them.
I was shocked. By that time, I was the only one on the hill and water was rising. I didn't want to die; especially not by being eaten by a monster.
"Why?" I asked the sky in dispair. "Why are you doing this?"
It was the monster who answered.
"They have to die, it's their time. They have to die to let the Circle of life-death-rebirth continue. If everyone lived forever then the cycle would stop and there would be death without rebirth."
This made so much sense that I couldn't argue. I knew then that the monster was the God.

Today's the day I say Thal's officially a kinkajou. Not that she's settled as such, but that's what she is and what wei feel most comfortable with. In about a month or so, if nothing has changed, I'll probably put up an announcement on TDF. *adds 'write kinkajou analysis' to to-do list* This actually makes me feel a lot better. I didn't like being unsettled.
