A joyous Lughnasadh to you!

Enjoy this beautiful video. I don't know much about the band Deloraine except they are Czech and are billed as a sort of neo-Pagan/fantasy/Witcher-influenced group. But this was pretty impressive:

You can torment me, but my last straw is apparently pizza

Woke up with a horrible work-related anxiety dream today where I'd spent an hour trying to sign in and schedule two teenagers who seemed to have endless PROMIS questionnaires to do and that just meant more scheduling for me to do (this is now how it was in real life, of course), and I couldn't progress to the next people till they were taken care of, nor could they go on to their appointment, and it had been an hour. To make it worse, someone showed up with a huge amount of pizza and was giving all the families and staff free pizza and drinks, but I couldn't have any till I took care of this. At this point, my brain had just had it, and I woke up. Apparently, my limit for nightmare torture is being left out of free pizza.

Later, my friend and I were discussing it. He thought it was just my subconscious kicking it up to the surface because I was still looking for a job, even though it's been almost six months. Also, we decided that in addition to our previous determination that my punishments in hell would be constantly looking for fluff after sweeping that keeps appearing and endlessly trying to get a cantilever door back on track, it would be while others were enjoying free pizza at my expense. This is apparently torment in my mind.

But seriously, brain, I could use a little less of that. I will say I've had nothing like that in at least 3-4 months, which made this even more curious.

At least it was just a dream/nightmare, though.
