I have been having a lot of nightmares about work recently. Weird stuff in which friends and colleagues turn on me. The worst part about it is that when I wake up I have a lot of trouble seperating which memos and conversations I actually had and which ones I merely dreamed.

All weekend I had a lot of anxiety about meeting with my boss today to discuss some performance issues other supervisors had emailed me about. I was really nervous until late Sunday night when I realized that I had just dreamed that entire issue over the course of the last week. Of course, that sent me down a freaked out spiral of checking and double-checking my memory to confirm that was actually the case.

Needless to say, I woke up in a very bad mood about coming to work. I was such a grumpy monkey that I could barely keep my thoughts straight about my morning errands. So I did what I always do when I need to concentrate, I dressed up. I put on my favorite suit and a fun tie and drove to work. I think it is freaking out my coworkers as there is not really an official dress code here. But I am already feeling better.
