Departing coworkers
I'm at work, though the room I'm in actually looks like the kitchen at church. My fellow employee, Scott, is leaving. I'm talking to megan about it, that I'll be the only build engineer left, and that I can probably ask for whatever I want and they'll give it to me. She wants to know why I'm staying at all, and I reply that I'm not condfident enough to set out somewhere else and that I enjoy my wowrk even if some of the requiremetns of my company are frustrating.
Chris is also leaving and we're talking to him. It's a Friday and he says that he was originally scheduled to have his exit interview on Monday but that they moved it up to today because he no longer has his keycard and they had to take a couple interns off of their regular duties just to follow him around and open doors, that that's just a huge waste of money, and that they originally only planned for them to do that through the weekend.
Somehow related to that, i'm looking at a control panel for the building. I can see my floor almost like one of the Sim games. I see doctors and patients arriving via various entrances. I see the conversations of the doctors in little text bubbeles next to their icons.
The strategy/space game
I'm looking at the overword map of some kind of strategy game. I think I'm looking at the surface of a planet as seen from space, but it looks pretty blasted. I'm on the rebel side; we're still small, but we're gradually starting to take more area back from whoever we're fighting against. The map I'm seeing is showing the currently contested areas of the planet.
Now I'm in a space fighter learning how to fly it. It uses standard WASD controls, so I already feel fairly familiar with it.
Now I'm on a space station.
Repaving
I'm driving. The edge of the road is newly repaved. It looks like they're still applying the finishing touches. One machine with big balloon tires is driving along it; another machine that looks like a big reel mower is coming along behind it. Even after they pass, I can see the marks from the treads on the balloon tires.
Now I'm out of my car. I touch the newly paved section, and it feels sticky and warm.
