He is actually happy. He was so miserable there. He will have a job soon. And he will apply for unemployment, the place is such a hostile work environment that it gives a red flag in the system. He should have no problems. We really are celebrating.
Will we be seeing more of the LPM on the boards?

Thanks everyone, and particularly you, Treppa. That's almost exactly what happens. I had a strangely severe instance of it the other day where I didn't know where I was (spoiler: in the hall on the way to the bathroom at work) and had a brief spike of panic. Was becoming slightly worried about early dementia or such.

Guess who joined the ranks of the unemployed today.
** spoiler omitted **
Taking the family out to celebrate!
Bummer.

Moorluck, did you punch your boss in the face?
In that case, h*ll yeah!
I could not find any Ortho, but I bought a 4 pack of Hot Shot and it seemed to work real fast.
I wonder if those poor dead ants were pawns of squirrels or hamsters?

Mine seems to be entirely related to stress and life changes, particularly moving home or office or having marital changes. You're not stressed at all, are you? EDIT: Mine was also worse when younger and improved with age, so dementia is unlikely.

I've had that happen to me, but usually I'm lost in pretty deep thought when it happens or I'll be at work. Perhaps it's stress, like Treppa said.

I once had a dream I was Sebastian. Does that count?

My Dad died two weeks ago. It might've been because of that. It had been ongoing for a while, but hadn't ever been severe except the one time.

Sorry about that.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP DYING! So far this year, two good friends of mine died. We came back from vacation this week and found out that two of our good friends had deaths in their families. I know that it happens, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

Sorry to hear that dude.
That's some weird dissociative stuff. Was your father sick for long before he passed away? You gonna do something about that or just hope it goes away?

Wow. Condolences dude. That's enough to stress anyone out. When my mom passed I was in a fog for three weeks, then I had to start ETSing from the Army.

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. :(
I thought you'd been posting much lighter of late, I guess we know why now.

I DEMAND that Lisa and Vic have a special screening for the FAWTLies at their house, next PaizoCon.

Yeah, that would do it. And I'm sorry about your Dad.
I've never had that happen about location, but frequently involving time. For the first couple of months after my mom died I wasn't sure when I was. I kept remembering things before they happened. Apparently my subconscious is scary good at predicting logical outcomes. *shrug* Only happens when I'm really stressed. I can understand that moment of panic though. :)

I'm the same way, but monitor it carefully. If it gets worse it can develop into some serious stuff.

If you are having trouble focusing, or enjoying things, or have to force yourself to do normal, everyday activies, then seeing somebody would be appropriate. If it's a talking kind of person, be sure they can keep up with you and you respect them, or it won't work. My 2 cp.

My condolences. I know how hard losing your Dad can be. Still seems like yesterday.
Seeing someone might be a good idea if for no other reason than to have a doc tell you it is just stress. If not, all the more reason.

Ummm.... do you really want me to weigh in on this? I am not clinically certified and I only have a masters in psychopharmacology, but I do have a few ideas.

You know Eddie? When I went to UT, the Daily Texan had a comic strip about this squirrel. Him hitting you up for a five spot is in character for him :)

The meeting of the big boss went well, I think. I rocked the LBD, and he commented on how nice I looked. I gave him the tour of the new store, he asked me to sell him something, so I chatted up the Lelo toys. Put them in his hands and made him explore it. He seemed happy when he left. Hopefully that is a good sign. :)

I don't know what those are or just what that sentence really means but I think it was TMI.

How ironic since it was not long after a situation that would involve worker's comp. Seedy, if you ask me. But I can understand his relief nonetheless.

I don't know either, but I'd probably have bought it myself if Solnes told me it was fun.
