Work Without Break

1. Boy on my Back

First day back at work. Crowded, almost noon. List is also working. Things get busy, and customers are fickle and have piles of books, which makes things difficult, because soon enough I am tending to two or three customers at the same time. Waiting, and halfway having people paying for their goods, then they want something else and wander off, and so on. I just continue as best I can, but when all comes together, more people clog together and things stop. List is at the computer, tending to another customer, so I am alright with doing this on my own.
There is one man I tended to first and he is back and he has other requests too, which makes settling the bill difficult, especially because it concerns things that I don't know about, like vouchers unknown to me because they were issued when I was in leave. And there are obviously presents to be made, too, all the dvd's separately. That will take a long while, so through the crowd I shout to my upstairs colleague, and luckily, Keva answers immediately and comes down. I don't mind the queue. I mind this one customer however, because he seems to have little trust. When I finish with him, I indeed see that I forgot to do something with his vouchers, I look at them, they are black and white, square, and of different values, but worth much, while I made him pay the total sum without subtracting those. Now I realize I don't know how to do it, but I tell him I will set things straight, so I am confident, but he is wary, says nothing upsetting though.
Liha is also there, and at some point during all this I have that feeling again that all comes on my shoulders again without anyone seeing my need and helping me out.
It is past noon already and I should go for my lunch break. The queue is better now but I can't go away because there is no one to replace me, though I think someone is helping at the other till. Yet at some point a small boy that I know well and am fond of comes to me and says it is my time to take a break and I tell him I can't do that because so many people still have to be helped, but I squat and tell him he can climb my back for a while if he wants. And he does. I intended for him to sit on my shoulders, but I am not patient enough and he does not by himself, so he is on my back and uncomfortable when I get up again. I continue working, then decide this is too difficult and let the boy go. Then I keep working till all is done, and then it is 2.30 pm, and I take my break, and that is when Liha and Digr come instead, but Digr was not aware of anything until that point, and Liha informs him.

2. Parsnip and Sausage Sandwich

Possibly the same dream. Time to eat and I was looking forward to this, because I had something special promised to me, and there is indeed the sausage with parsnip, and all is ready and cooked, and there are ciabatta breads, or french bread, and I cut it open and put this in between. The parsnip is cooked well and cut in the middle and the sausage goes in the middle. And I smear chocolate paste on this too, that would be good. But when I go across the room, which must be a catering kitchen, working tables in the middle, but at the other end is a table with the stuff on it, and I make a second, then I see mustard and think I should have used that to smear my bread with, so I make a second one. I will enjoy this.
Then when I want to start eating, I notice other people, they were already in another room and maybe I am going there. Pi is also here somewhere, and maybe he helped prepare all the food, though I make it myself.

3. Matchsticks

Same dream still. Different room, in which I am alone and this time it is dark as if people left me here, they don't even know I'm here, and this is some old lady's living room, but I know the place, and I have some business here, though I don't want to see other people.
Then someone else is there, and she lives here, and I know her, feel her presence, she knows I'm here, too, and she needs to get something from this room, which is near a cupboard under a table near where I am, wood, and she will take this to the other area through the door, which is also near me, where the other people are, and there is light there, though the door is closed. She is looking for the matchsticks, the ones you use for New Year's Eve, and these are larger than normal. She's got a real bunch of them but is clumsy and drops some and can't carry the lot and I think about how clumsy she is and reach out to help saying a few words, but keeping myself from it all the same. Yet it sparks something in me as if I want to be a part of socializing again, and I see something else pinned to the closet, I am sitting on the floor, and see the candy, like smarties and other sugar coated chocolate, and ask her if she wants me to take this, too, and she said yes, so I busy myself with it, happy. Though all is very soft.

4. Parked Car and Church Meeting, Maybe Dead End

Outside, parked, I am in the car, front, passenger seat, and light, church in the neighbourhood, others outside doing business, this is where the street ends, and we are parked here. There is another car just in front of me and people get out from that car, tall, looking like mafia, and there is a third one that goes to the others of my group, now one of the other persons from the car comes to our car and through the window leans in and wants to rummage through stuff and do things as if it is his own car, I think that is arrogant, and want to stop him. He stops after a while, that is followed by the reappearance of all the other people, and they are going to the church, it was this in the past, now it is only a meeting hall, but a meeting is what we are holding. From the other side comes another man who is supposed to be ozzie osbourne, and not everyone recognizes him, which makes him angry, other people were with him. I see it all happen. But he comes in to the meeting hall, which is up and to the left, and we all enter. Wooden long table and benches, narrow, but comfortable, stylish in a way. Can't remember the rest, it was already towards the end of the dream.
