Two strange things

1. This completely nonsensical Hello Kitty test informs me that I only care about other people 40% and that I "don't really like the act of caring." Because I think that the owner of the box used the bandages themselves? Because I'd rather drink my juice out of the yellow cup? I'm so confused. I think I might be too old/un-Japanese to understand the questions.

2. Last night, I had a dream in which one of my co-workers told me, obviously lying, that she had had a sex change operation four years ago. "But you were married to a man," I said. "Yes," she replied. "That's why I had to do it." Written out like that, it doesn't make any sense, but in the dream I understood that she wanted me to think that they were a gay couple and that after they broke up, she hated him so much she didn't even want to be the same gender as him anymore. Everything I said to counter it, she argued: you've been with your boyfriend for five years (he's very understanding), all of your bylines from previous jobs have your current, decidedly female name (it was my nickname). It basically boiled down to her saying, what? you think you know better than me whether I've had a sex change? and me saying oh, whatever. It was such an absurd, ridiculous lie and I couldn't figure out why she wanted me to believe it.

And it's such an absurd, ridiculous dream and I can't figure out why I had it.

very weird. actually, I find all my dreams about coworkers very weird, and aim not to share them at work so that I can stay reasonably popular (I think).
