Strange Dream

I woke up around 10, and was sitting with Mimi on my lap, and was falling asleep, so I went back to sleep.

 

I had a strange dream in which IT was taking over our Web sites from us. They were switching to a display that was kind of like a virtual reality or holographic display, only it was real and you could take certain items out of the display. They thought that it would be good for the library because patrons could take books directly out of the display. I asked them how we would know that they had the books, and they didn't have an answer to that. I said that our catalogs were written for only two dimensions, and have they talked to our consortium about this? They said that we should leave the consortium. Then I woke up, thank goodness :)

 

I don't usually dream about my current job. I do dream about IBM occasionally though. That place, apparently, is still under my skin.

 

I read an article in the New York Times about people having problems going off antidepressants. I know that if I forget to take my morning meds, I get "brain zaps," electrical zaps in my brain. One of my antidepressants, Venlafaxine (Effexor) is supposed to be really hard to taper off. I'm assuming, though, that I'll be taking my meds the rest of my life. Venlafaxine saved my life four years ago. I'm still not the same as someone who doesn't have depression, but the meds help.

 

Wow, this place is a mess.
