I had a very weird dream last night. The earth was being attacked by aliens. They were flinging meteors and such at us and then they started with their ships which damn near as destructive what with all the energy beams and missiles and such. I remember I was out in my parents neighbourhood for some reason (I had been home, maybe I went to see if they were ok) when it got really bad and I was running/driving around gathering peoples together and trying to find safe places to go- we were blocked off and couldnt get out of the area.
At one point I remembered I was supposed to be at work but I didnt have my works number (IRL I still dont have it cos I keep forgetting to save it) so I called the agency who Im technically employed by and they told me I was fired for not showing up to work. I tried to explain that since the world was under attack and I was in one of the worst effected areas, cut of from everywhere by enemy fire that maybe they could not fire me but he'd already hung up. Eventually I managed to get to my work and I remember that it was 8:23am when I got there so I was hoping that since I wasnt very late, and the world was being destroyed, I might be able to convince them not to fire me but my boss just gave me a dirty look and said something along the lines off "Nah, yer fired. Get outa here!".
This left me puzzled and I was thinking "Why the fuck are we even open and working today?!?? We're under fucking attack be angry fucking aliens ffs!!!". I went to find the big boss to see if he could be more reasonable and help me out, I mean, come on, I was only a little bit late and extra terrestrials were trying to kill us all but no, I was fired.
After that I spent some time going around to some of my work mates telling them whatd happened, asking them why we were working under these circumstances and saying how Id thought Glen (big bossman who hired me) was a nice guy and they were saying shit like "Nah, he's a cunt, it just takes time to show through." So then I sabotaged the company a bit...and woke up.
I NEVER have dreams like that... my dreams are pretty much always a (sometimes) vague representation of something thats happening in my life and my subconscious way of telling me what to do or whats really going on. The representation part is obvious. The attacks were representing the recent bushfires- I havent been in the middle of them (though I was almost in the middle of the worst at the worst time..) but they have disturbed me more than I can say...the forests are my world and my sanity and with out them I feel trapped cos theres just no where I can go for an arvo etc atm. Im kinda lost right now. The bit about being fired would be the fact that I still cant really believe that Ive actually found a job that treats the staff well, with bosses thatre friendly and fair. The fact that I did not reveal anything to myself is the unusual part...well that and the .. feel of the dream.
In other news my job is still ace, last I heard the CFA were hoping that theyd have the Dandenongs put out tonight, the Kinglake/Murindindi fires are finally contained and its raining. I think Ill have a drink and masturbate to celebrate...would anyone care to join me?
