Lately, I can almost physically feel a pull on me, driving my actions, everything I do.
I thought I had today off from work. At about 5:15pm, I decide to go get food, despite the fact I wasn't hungry and had plenty of food at home. I decided to get food from the Hungry Howie's I work at, across town, for no explicable reason. Even as I was driving, I thought to myself Why the hell are you doing this? I felt almost like the choice had been made without my decision. "You're late!" my manager said in a sort of joking manner as I walked in. "Haha...wait, really?" Apparently I was supposed to go in at 5:00 according to the schedule in the store. I grabbed my phone to check the time and realized it was dead, and had probably been all day. The driver that was about to go home offered to work for me and I gladly let him, but my manager sort of pulled me aside and told me that if I had been a no call no show and she couldn't get a hold of me, she would have been forced to fire me. It was a policy the owners were trying to strictly enforce. Showing up to get food saved my job.
I don't know what's been going on lately, things have been very strange for me. My dreams have also been different, very emotional and usually leaving an impact.
