Looking over all the options available in the Chronivac, I realized this was going to be more challenging than I first thought. I could just make all the mental adjustments I wanted to myself, but in that case, the simplest one to make would be to just make my stress go away. Similarly, I could make my mindset more submissive, but that felt like I would be missing part of the experience - not just being submissive, but becoming like that. I was interested in the journey, too, as much or even more so than just the destination, to see if this was really something for me rather than making myself that way. So I felt that I should leave the mental adjustments alone as much as possible.
There was also the problem of just who I would want to be submitting myself to. Again, it looked like I could use the Chronivac to change someone so they were exactly the type of person I was looking for, but if I changed them that much, they might as well be a puppet with me pulling the strings - hardly me giving up control if I was setting everything up. There was also the problem I had run into with my girlfriend, that trying to do so full time was actually challenging. I could hardly have taken her into work with me as my personal slave, even if it was voluntary. If I left at her home she would either get bored or have to go to work herself. Somehow things would have to be arranged so I would not be stuck somewhere by myself - even I knew that house pets should not be kept singly but at least in pairs so they had some company during the day while people were out.
Thinking of house pets made me pause and look at the Chronivac. It could do non-human transformations, so I could try becoming something not-quite-human. Something that could be legally owned, even, but perhaps with some legal safeguards against abuse - I wouldn't want to risk being casually disposed of, so to speak. The more I thought about the idea, the more the appeal grew. Giving up my status as a person fit in with the idea of giving up responsibility and control to someone else.
