one goofy ass thing i like about my job is we all really like having staff feedback after programs (like after in service, after summer reading, etc) because it just makes it easier to make it actually helpful and easier next time around and that’s all we want right, like PERSONALLY i don’t want to be anxious about a program and dreading it all year, which means i get to do what i Love which is offer my opinion constructively so i can be like “i think some people just don’t understand paylocity, it is a little confusing & for them, going through that app is this scary time sink so they don’t open it ever.” and no one is taking it personally because five other people wrote in “beanstack scares me” and “i’m not using teams” and we can just adjust our expectations of our older coworkers instead of writing people up for it akskd.

Just to elaborate on this, my job used to say if you don’t make $50 in tips, you get free food. You also get free food if it’s:

• A mistake - Someone rang an order in wrong and they remade it, so it’s just sitting there.

• A reward - You picked up someone’s shift for right after yours. Sometimes they overlap and they don’t want you to have a break and you have to refuse not to take one for yourself.

• Pity - You didn’t make “enough” (for fucking WHAT? It is NOT EVEN in my FUCKING pocket and it WON’T be…for 1-2 WEEKS)

• Scraps - something that’s past it’s sell by date and might expire in your fridge.

Never acknowledged, of course!

Yeah so they took it down to $30 in tips.

Hence, the wishing I wouldn’t make 30 untouchable numbers, so I could eat today.

I made over $30 today. Only on card because cash is disappearing like dvds (typed wrong and it auto-corrected to “dads”…still works)

I am starving.

The rest of my money has dedications I’m waiting to pay.

I am on my shark week and in even more pain. Can’t take pain meds because that’ll just make it worse without food.

Didn’t sleep well, had to rush out the door, so no cereal.

My hands were shaking while checking someone out for a to go mocha I had to make too.

I almost put the silverware holder (for polished ones not meant to go in a dishwasher) and fucking table napkins in a sanitizing machine instead of on a shelf under the counter.

I scooped sauce out of a ramekin into the Petri dish that the silverware sit in, waiting to be washed at the end of a shift instead of in the trash without even questioning it until it was already done. I never fucking do that. I clear everything where it’s supposed to go because I’ve been a dishwasher and have had personal vendettas against the servers that didn’t.

Had to ask someone else to fill the ice bin even though it was my task because I just didn’t have the energy for going all the way back to the machine and then forgot I didn’t already sweep my section. So I had to do heavier physical labor anyway. I might’ve half-assed.

I was supposed to leave at 1. They wouldn’t let me start closing my shift out. It is 3:30. I got here at 7:15 am. This shit is completely avoidable.

I can’t get home till my partner is off and if I had the car, I wouldn’t trust myself to drive. They don’t work in the food industry and they get a meal, so they’re okay enough to get through, at least. (Genuinely)

Refusing your food service workers food when they have to smell, touch, and see food, watch people eat, and overhear conversations at tables about their corporate level job and being able to afford anything at all is literally torture.

Let’s start calling it what it is. It’s inhumane. Neglect. Greedy. Physical and physiological TORTURE.

Servers shouldn’t have to think “I hope I don’t make $30 in tips, so I can get a free pity meal”.

Free shift meals should be standard for everyone in food service and any low paying job.

very invested in how lumon is explicitly described as a company that has a foothold in the medical field, initially established as a manufacturer of medicines right around the time the concept of the modern pharmaceutical industry started taking shape in the 19th century, and its products/services are floated as the sale of medical equipment and health & wellness to its customers. they facilitated the development of the surgical procedure for severance and use psychological tactics to keep their workers in line. after helly r attempts suicide, her orientation into her new situation on the severed floor is framed as a patient’s admission into a psychiatric facility - objects that can be used to inflict bodily harm on herself are locked away, which offers continued commentary on her consistent lack of access to self determination and bodily autonomy. mark s commits to the procedure anticipating that it’ll allow him to better deal with his grief.

this goes hand in hand with their forays into research - the services that macrodata refinement render are directly in service of keir’s vision of automating the human condition (re: keir’s theory that unique ratios of the tempers - dread, malice, frolic, woe - make up different people). the concepts of natural selection preceded, and eugenics was developed, within keir’s lifetime during the 19th century. also thinking about how emotional regulation goes hand in hand with shaping the perfect worker - health and wellness are once again emphasised when it attempts to corral its wayward workers; but these concepts are relative, and constructed in the corporate’s interest. they’ve also constructed company towns for their workers where, for all intents and purposes, they hold a significant amount of power over the bodies housed at their expense. where do you draw a line on the work-life balance issue when the corporate world has entered your home and your body?

We  understand  that  new  developments  can  raise  questions,�� even  mild  emotional  fluctuations  ( don’t  worry—we’ve  accounted  for  those ).  Please  know  that  all  Dissension  participants  enjoy  top-tier  medical  observation,  plush  ergonomic  seating,  and  curated  social  interactions  designed  to  maintain  morale  at  industry-leading  levels.  Should  any  adjustment  period  occur—say,  a  brief  disorientation,  the  occasional  mirror  hallucination,  or  a  strong  emotional  response  to  sunshine—our  Cognitive  Reintegration  Specialists  are  fully  equipped  to  assist.  Such  incidents,  of  course,  are  exceedingly  rare,  and  often  resolved  with  herbal  tea,  light  recalibration,  or  a  brief  nap  in  our  Reflection  Pods.  We  take  pride  in  rewarding  exceptional  behavior,  whether  that’s  through  commemorative  pins,  snack  vouchers,  or  a  featured  spot  in  our  quarterly  Employee  Luminary  Ledger. We  at  Volner-Downe  believe  that  one  day,  humanity  will  see  the  Dissension  Procedure  not  just  as  a  milestone,  but  as  a  moral  obligation.  Why  suffer  from  the  weight  of  dual  responsibility  when  we  can  tidy  it  up  for  you?  The  self  is  a  luxury  that  was  never  meant  to  multitask.  So  relax.  Unclench.  Your  Outie  is  safe,  your  Innie  is  productive,  and  your  endowment  to  our  future  is  already  happening; so  we  thank  you  for  your  contribution—however  subconsciously  rendered.  Welcome  to  Volner-Downe  Inc.™:  Your  life,  organized.

THE  HOUSE  OF  DISSENSION  is  a 21+  original,  psychological  horror, drama, and political  roleplay  set  in  a  retrofuturist  2028,  where  identity  has  become  a  product,  obedience  a  prescription,  and  silence  the  only  permitted  rebellion.  Inspired  by  Severance,  Succession,  The  Sims,  and  Control,  it  explores  corporate  surveillance,  manufactured  realities,  and  the  ghost-like  aftermath  of  partitioned  lives.  The  aesthetic  is  mid-century  modern  gone  sterile:  sleek  chrome,  synthetic  smiles,  and  cocktail  parties  hosted  beneath  the  glare  of  hidden  cameras.  Centered  around  profound  character  evolution,  embracing  dark  narratives,  intricate  personal  journeys,  immersive  world-building,  and  transformative  plot  developments  designed  to  challenge  your  character  and  reshape  the  very  fabric  of  their  reality. This  world  is  curated  to  the  point  of  collapse,  built  on  a  foundation  of  inherited  power,  manipulated  memory,  and  the  slow,  aching  horror  of  being  erased  while  alive.  More  information  will  be  declassified  on  May  18th.  Until  then—remember  your  place,  repeat  your  mantras,  and  above  all  else:  we’re  happy  to  be  here.

Once Upon a Dream | Spencer Reid

iv. i sleep so i can see you, or S.R. entries 5-8 | prev chapter | next chapter | series masterlist

September 12, 20—

Attached to this entry are a photocopied version of my results from my neurologist, the MRI scans and my therapist's recommended readings. I shall have to go through them soon, but it seems that the conclusion could be summed up into one line: 

My brain has sustained trauma

Both external, physical trauma from the bomb explosion, and the internal, psychological trauma of going through such an experience—and, truthfully, every other experience I've gone through in my years of being with the BAU. I've always thought I was good at compartmentalizing, and after fifteen years in service, I would be doing it so easily. Age meant experience, after all, and more experience meant more practice.

Unfortunately, that seems like it isn't the case for me right now. Perhaps there's nowhere else to compartmentalize in my head, and the trauma's catching up to me. My therapist told me not to think that way, and I know that's not logical, but at this point, nothing is really logical.

The dreams continue. I still cannot see her face, not clearly. Just the vague outline of her eyes, the rosebud mouth. And the hair. Long and abundant. Something about it made me itch to run my fingers through the strands, and she'd let me sometimes. I remember every single thing she had told me, most of which I have also disclosed on the next page. 

My therapist said to try to engage with the woman, that perhaps it will help me resolve any past issues with Maeve.

The problem was, it's not Maeve. She said it herself. She laughed when I called her Maeve. But then if she wasn't Maeve, then who was she? 

I am tempted to ask Garcia to do a search on her, but what am I even going to ask? “Hey, do you mind looking through our database to find this girl I've been dreaming about?” They'll think I've gone completely delusional…

Is that it? Is this schizophrenia rearing its ugly head? But, no, no, it can't be. The results from my scans are all here. It's not early onset schizophrenia, it's just… her.

This is a frustrating experience. I have scoured my collection for every book on dreams I have, as well as checked out the libraries nearby. I've requested to borrow their books as well. Everything from psychoanalysis to scholarly takes on divination and astrology. I cannot let a stone go unturned, as they say. 

I will find out who she is, one way or another.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: * the next page ☽ .* :☆��. ───

Facts about her:

she dislikes the Pevear and Volokhonsky translations of Tolstoy (I made sure to recite the Maude translation for her, even though I'm not sure she really noticed the difference without a copy of the book. I had an irrational desire to impress her, and that seemed to do the trick.)

she’s always dressed in pastel colors, but her favorite color is maroon

her hair is dyed, although she does it herself and never goes to a hairdresser (she says it’s dry and never allows me to touch it)

she works in a law firm. she wouldn't tell me if she's a practicing lawyer. I've told her I work in law enforcement, but kept it vague as well.

her favorite novel is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude (we spent quite a few nights discussing this)

Perhaps next time, I can work up the courage and ask for her name.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

September 15, 20–

Freud has extensively written about dreams - manifest and latent, the remembered and the symbolic. Different meanings for both things. My manifest dreams have always been easy to decipher, because I remember everything, thus I have never really had to examine them. I remember them because of my eidetic memory, that's easy enough to explain.

I still have my eidetic memory.

But I'm having trouble remembering her. 

She's hazy now. I don't understand. Before, I just couldn't see her face, but she… she felt corporeal. I could touch her, hear the rich quality of her voice. Now, she's completely blurry, as if I'm viewing her through water, the flowing quality distorting her until she's nearly incomprehensible. It is harder to reach for her too, as if there's something physically separating us, I feel as though I'm looking through a glass aquarium.

Who is trapped in the aquarium in this analogy - she or I? I am not even sure why I mentioned that. I am just so baffled by the turn of events. We had been getting… I realize this sounds concerning. I’m freaking out over the loss of a dream girl - a literal one, in this case. Scholars have studied that too, that sense of loss one gets when they wake up from a dream. Of the brain being unable to decipher what is fictional and what is not.

It should be wrong to mourn for someone you've never truly even met but…

Well, I suppose I have a pattern. My coworkers would have a field day over this, which is why I simply cannot enlist their help. At least with Maeve, she had been real. I knew her name, knew she worked as a geneticist. At least our conversations had happened while we were both conscious.

But this? 

She could be a figment of my imagination, for all I know. (But she is not. She isn't. I just know it, I just  can't explain why - which circles back to my frustration. There's so much I can't explain. Why am I having a difficult time remembering my dreams now? Why is she suddenly so much more ghost-like when she seemed so real only a few days ago?

Why do I even care?

Science would be a logical response. I care because at my core, I am an academic, and this is a scientific anomaly. If I can find a reason to explain this, it would be quite a great feat and dream research has been flimsy at most, downright fraudulent at best. But aren't I also the same person who loves magic? Who believes that science and magic can go hand in hand - perhaps that's the course I should take with my readings. Intersections between science and magic.

But all of those explanations are null; in my heart of hearts I know why I care so much - because somehow, in those dreams that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, I've foolishly grown to care about her too.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

September 19, 20–

I have gone through every book I could get my hands on regarding this topic. I've stopped telling my therapist about it as well, because she's begun to grow suspicious and concerned over my behavior. Certainly, from afar, her concern isn't entirely unfounded. I realize I've been acting rather obsessively over this… what even is it? A dream? A hallucination? 

I've begun reading about lucid dreaming, which seems to be the logical explanation for this, for the woman I keep seeing even though the settings are different and I never encounter anyone else. But it adds up; I have never done any of the prior preparations in order to lucid dream, but I suppose the brain injury is exacerbating that. 

So I've been lucid dreaming. That's an easy enough pill to swallow. It also does make me feel hopeful, because… well, maybe she's a lucid dreamer too. According to the books, it's possible to encounter other lucid dreamers when one does this consciously. (Some books also claim that these might just be apparitions, or malevolent beings trying to pull me under their spell, so I must take this with a grain of salt). 

Still, this theory makes the most sense. She's another lucid dreamer. And that means… She's real. She's somewhere out there. And I'm going to find her.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

September 20, 20–

I cannot understand why she keeps fluttering in and out of my dreams now. I will admit, it's driving me up the wall. The books say sometimes, dreamers will move onto another place, but she's… she's still there. Just not like she used to. Is she actually a ghost? Is my lucid dreaming theory completely wrong, and I'm actually seeing a ghost, who's now perhaps in the process of crossing over?

I cannot dwell on it too much, the team has been called on a case, we're traveling to Massachusetts in an hour. I don't enjoy writing the details of my cases in this journal, because I do keep a separate one for that, but it's a surprising case. No real MO, but the victims are all regular patrons of a coffee shop. The earliest victim died nearly two months ago, but the local PD only now recognized the pattern, and asked for our help.

Normally, I would have no issue doing some reading on the side while we're on an active case. However, as much as I want to do that, I know my colleagues will notice if I'm distracted. And ask questions. Tara especially likes to ask about what I'm reading, and I cannot risk slipping up. And so, I shall leave this journal behind as well. I don't want my team finding it by mistake.

I have to write before I forget, and unfortunately this table napkin is the only place I can spare right now. I fell asleep on the jet, like I normally do. And she - I saw her. I saw her, in full detail. Her heart shaped face. She holds her lips in a way that's pulled down as if she's forever frowning in sadness. It makes her cheeks dimple. She must know that. Brown eyes, blonde -

This is an update for @prettylittlewrites and her alone (jk if u wanna be added to the tag list let me know) also this was so late, lovely I'm sorry. His journal entries actually give me so much anxiety I started this months ago and I feel like I haven't captured his voice that well but whateverrrrr
