Disruption to Work

Date: 3/4/2026

In my dream last night I was surveying our community gardens, it was different than the ones I work in. It was in the back of a tall apartment building and felt very inner-city. I was looking around thinking about planting watermelon plants all along the edges. It was early spring and I wondered if I could get away with direct sowing seeds all in the ground and I imagined melons growing for everyone! This part was thoughtful as I walked around the area. The next scene, I can't exactly describe where it was, maybe a weird mall? I was with my brother at like a pub and we were getting food and having drinks. There were two women there and my brother and one of them were hitting it off. At one point they separate from me and the other woman and go off to the sidewalk. Me and the other girl are chatting and hoping they kiss and are kind of watching them. I wished in the moment that I was also hitting it off with a guy but I was just with this girl. I got the impression that she was imploring if I was gay and interested but I declined. Luc and the girl exchanged numbers and then had an awkward kiss. He came back and was beating himself up about the kiss part. It was all pretty endearing. Back in the mall we run into Heather (my old coworker who was really problematic) she kind of tags along with us and I'm really uncomfortable with her being there. I can't remember how the exchange was going but it felt like she was trying to be a moocher and also weasel her way back into working her old job. I didn't know how to talk to her, because I was so annoyed and disgusted. In order to lose her I took my friends and we went downstairs. But then I had to get to work and I didn't want to be late and show up badly like she had. But I forgot my shoes! Then me and my friend Cait were looking for shoes for me and I found a white one in a pile, then she had a white one in her bag. We were rushing now as we had maybe 10 mins to get to work. There was also an Asian grocery store on this floor and we got a snack. We do end up passing Heather and I think she is with an ex friend Catherine too (both chronically late people) and they want a ride with us but say they are just going to get some food and they get into a long line for a cafe that makes sandwiches and stuff. I'm like "are you kidding me, you'll be too late" and we leave without them. I am annoyed at their natural ability to ignore morality. The end.
