---------------------------------------------
6.5.2k1... i had the craziest dream the other night. i think it was the night before last. somewhere between eight:thirty and ten AM. i was at work and my manager asked me to watch the manager's office for a little while. sure thing, i thought. not a problem. now understand, in real life this office does not exist. thats the way dreams work though, i guess. nothing has to make sense or be consistant. and that was certainly the case with this dream.
im not entirely clear on the details, but there was this button on the manager's desk. it had some warning label. something i couldnt really read, yet the message was clear... you arent supposed to touch this...THAT MEANS YOU. so what did i do? yeah, i pushed the button. crap.
have you ever seen the part in the movie ''weird science'' when the missile or rocket or whatever it is rises out of the floor of the kid's house? it errupts thru the floor, splinters the ceiling above, demolishes the second floor, and emerges form the roof of the house. yeah, that part. thats exactly what happened in my dream.
apparently my place of business, in this dream world, was housing nuclear warheads and my innocent press of the aforementioned button caused them to launch from the floor just below men's accessories. crazy business. im not exactly sure what happened to them. i think they hit china or something. i remember looking up at the sky and seeing the missiles and an airplane trying to collide with them. an airplane or a bird. im not sure which it was. anywho, it missed the missiles and for all i know, they started world war three. but that part was obsolete. what i really remember clearly was my manager walking up to me and explaining to me how sorry she was that i had to be fired for launching the missiles when i should have known better. ''now stephen, we trusted you in that office... and i think you know what i have to do now... i hate to say it too... i dont want to have to do this, but i have no choice... the company has to let you go...'' she said. i felt bad for her. and rushed, because i was trying to quckly come up with an excuse for having launched the missiles. but she continued, ''and the money the company saves by not having to pay you, they are going to use to sue you.''
aaaaaaaaaahh great. in my dream i had also launched nuclear weapons from my parents' house the week before and i was desperate to find and excuse for launching two nuclear attacks in one week. not only that, in this dream i was stressed out enough as it was, just trying to figure out how i was going to repay my family for the damages to the house. now i had to worry about losing my job and getting sued. this was not a good night's sleep. however, the only thing that crossed my mind was, how am i ever going to get married now? i cant support a family if im getting sued for tons of money i have yet to even earn. what a nightmare. why cant i have normal dreams?
