Two days ago at work a couple of events seem to have happened out of order. I'm not a schizo and I've never noticed anything like this prior to 7/2.

First instance: I queried a database to see whether an error had been corrected. It had been. I noticed that the timestamp on the update was about 40 minutes *after* the time I ran the query. I didn't think anything of it because a database can be set to any timezone the admin would like. Out of curiosity I checked the timezone selected... turns out it was configured to use our local tz. I found this strange but not sus, yet, as computers do all sorts of unexpected things.

Second instance: I exported the content of a report to PDF. This software always uses the filename of the report for the PDF's filename. Not this time. I had forgotten to rename the report file to indicate that it was the final revision, yet the PDF generated was given the correct "FINAL" postfix. I renamed the report file *after* the PDF had been generated; another out of order sequence of events. This time around I became a little sus as, unlike the simple timestamp offset earlier in the day, the computer somehow predicted the deletion of three words and the addition of one word in a filename. Zero chance that would happen randomly.

Is a time wizard fucking with me? Do any anons know what's going on?

Yeah, those aren't time anomalies, you're just swapping places with other versions of you from another dimension.
The most common examples include things being undone because you swap places with a you that didn't do them, so you have to do it again, and things being done without you remembering that you did them, because you swap with a you that already did them.
But things can also appear out of sequence because the other yous did them earlier, or later, and they only seem out of sequence because you did them anyway so it appears as if their effect happened in the past.
This is useful in near death experiences where people swap with a you that hasn't died yet and they can take different actions to avoid it.

This doesn't fit either example. In the first instance I witnessed a timestamp from 40 minutes in the future. I hadn't had anything to do with making that update, I was just checking to see if the responsible party had. In the second instance I witnessed that the filename change definitely had not been made and somehow the PDF export had the correct filename. At one moment in time I could see both the "updated" PDF and the "un-updated" report file on my system. It wasn't that a parallel me had changed the report file and I simply didn't remember having done so, as I could clearly see the state of things on my machine.

>. I hadn't had anything to do with making that update
It was the other you. The other yous don't necessarily live in the present like you, some live in the future, others in the past, this one lived 40 minutes in your future, when he ran the queue. For him, the timestamp is from where you ran the query, so what he finds strange is that it appears with a date 40 minutes earlier than expected.
For the second instance, the other you already gave it the correct name, what the other you saw was that despite giving it the correct name, it appeared with the one from your mistake instead of having the final postfix. It wasn't the computer predicting anything, it's names being changed in a different dimension, and other your seeing that the changes they make aren't having any effect, and having to deal with your mistakes, because of the swapping going on.

The parallel "me" hypothesis still doesn't explain how I witnessed out-of-order things in single slices of time. In both of the cases in my OP the strange part is that future info showed up on my machine and I could do a side by side comparison of state. Input and output were out of order. I'll think more about what you've written but I'd really like to read an alternate theory because, as things stand, I can't shoehorn what I've witnessed into your framework.

The relevant part is that you still sent an input after seeing the output, that's what makes things appear out of sequence.
If you never sent the postfix to the filename you would have been wondered how it guessed what it was supposed to be, instead of the past reflecting what you were to do.
Anyway, it seems you're not looking for the truth, you want an answer that you like, something that makes you feel good, even if it's false, so I hope some other anon provides it.

Of a 'normal' life. Dreammatrix is a better term. No edits on 4chan.

I have had physical manifestions of this recently, which is especially concerning because my wife has been present during both occurrences so I know I'm not just losing my own mind. The first, was around a week ago the seal underneath the cap on my milk miraculously reappeared, resealed, the following day after using it. The night before I had unsealed it, remarked to my wife about new milk (inside joke) that she remembered, drank my milk, then the next day it was there as if I had never removed it. It is such an anomalous event, but so incredibly mundane. I can't make sense of it.

The second time was just today, around 6 hours ago. I was pulling up to my house after getting groceries with my wife, and just as I pull up in front of my house, I see my own truck, which mind you is parked right in front of my house, round the corner to take a left. It was not on the street before me. It had seemingly appeared, right at the stop sign at the very end of my street, then taken a left turn. One especially odd thing is I'd just bought the truck two days ago. I have never driven left down that street yet. Oh, and it's a 38 year old truck with a unique paint job. I don't understand the significance of there events.
