Yesterday's hangover
Not a real hangover, mind. But it was weird. I woke up fine, felt fine, but while I was at work I couldn't shake the feeling my eyes were half open. All day. And I didn't go into work until noon, then worked till after 9PM.
So this morning I woke up around 7AM, had a pee and went back to bed with the intention of snoozing and getting back up shortly. My cats usually don't let me do more than that.
But after a very vivid dream in which I was the only cashier at a store (not necessarily the store I cuurently work at, it was like a non-descript store) and people came in an hour before we actually opened and I tried to get them to leave and they wouldn't leave and then they wanted to buy things and I tried to ring them up, but the registers, both of them, made me do quizzes and surveys before they would open! It was nuts. I made people wait because I couldn't ring them up, I was the only one there, only 2 registers, I even remember I had to choose these little icons to answer the surveys and I had to connect my phone and I watched the progress bar while it uploaded something.
While all that was going on a lady came up and wanted to return something. She didn't have a receipt, it was a hat-like purse (no kidding) so I looked in the lining for the receipt. I told her I could give her a gift card, but she'd have to wait. She was very nice, so she waited. Everyone was looking around and then I got the registers going and
everyone came up to pay for their stuff. One old white guy came up and since he had been the first one before he wanted to be first again. The lady stepped back. I remember looking at her and saying, "No, she was here first. You were looking around."
Then I woke up and realized the lady was black. It was 10:17 AM.
That was some hangover.
