Went to bed around 11.
Woke up at 2:30, rattled by a series of twisty dreams, the kind where you're never sure if they're really dreams, or where you are, or, in this case, *when* you are. Suddenly wide awake. At 2:30 AM. Fuck.
Some of the dreams were about the big office move this upcoming week. I'm not really rattled about the move itself, it's just that I'm going to be going in to work tomorrow and I won't know what to do. All of my stuff is packed, including my computer. Should I just read a book til my boss gets there? Should I walk over to the new building? What if my phone's been disconnected and I can't call in?
Those of you who know me know about my weird social anxiety stuff. Essentially, I need a "roadmap" for the simplest of tasks, I need to be exactly sure of what I am doing. When I go someplace unfamiliar, I need very specific directions, and if something isnn't according to plan, I quietly freak. So my internal roadmap for work is to arrive at the office at around 7:25, walk down to Caribou with
yendi (where, twice or three times a week, I will buy an iced chai), walk back to the office, arrive at 7:50, unlock classrooms, clock in, distribute faxes, then check and dispense with e-mail and do LJ until my boss comes in around 9, when I start *actually* working. Hot cocoa with Jeanette at 10. Lunch at noon. Always.
So tomorrow I'm going to go fetch my coffee, unlock classrooms... and then, I don't know what I'm to do for the next hour. Which is apparently concerning me so much that I'm losing sleep. I'm totally upfucked, aren't I?
So. Ate some cookies, and now will LJ and read until I feel tired enough to return to bed.
