My fever dream moment was bizarre because it included the time/space distortion but there were these "beings" present, trying to teach me how to use one of their weapons. It was just a ball you rolled in a very specific way, and I couldn't get it right, lol. When I zooped back into my body I was curled up in an armchair staring out the window at the flashing yellow street light down the road. I immediately screamed at the memory of the horrible sensation and started crying even though the actual "dream" was very calm, albeit intense. Acid got me close to that feeling and I'm positive salvia would be closer if not worse.

I was stuck in this sensation a few times when I was a kid! Once after a massive concussion and another when I had a terrible fever. Had a flash of it last night, actually, when I was using one of those tiny disposable Wisp toothbrushes. I absolutely abhor that feeling.

I let slip that I put 75% of every paycheck into savings so that I can quit my job whenever I see fit. (Zero debt, no kids, no bills except the basics). When I first started I also told them that the reason I left my last job was because they treated me like garbage, and I decided to never work a shitty job again, and I'd quit at the drop of a hat if they started jerking me around...

This job still jerks me around, but they look REAL nervous when they do it. I'm not lying, I really do have several thousands of dollars, probably 5 months of living expenses, saved up, and I will quit so fast it'll make their butt cheeks clap.

I told my boss that I could take a picture of our handwritten recipes with my phone, copy it into a word file, convert them (in our case, increase the yields), PLUS print them out, all in a few minutes, and he looked at me like I was a complete idiot who was wasting his time.
