Strange Dreams

[bjarvis]

Last night shortly after I shuffled to the guestroom, I had a rather odd and possibly prophetic dream...

I envisioned I had taken a new job and was just introduced to my new office, a space in utter shambles. Most the dream was taken up in clearing away garbage left by the prior occupant, getting the workstation functional and making the appropriate updates (changing the name on the door, updating the voice mail message, checking my network logins, and such). Once I was more or less settled, I started working on a list of items I would need: a dry erase board, replacement chairs, a hands-free wireless headset for the telephone, a better monitor, replacement window blinds, etc..

Alas, I woke up before my dream could fill in certain desirable blanks, such as what precisely my role was or where I was working.

I'm not too concerned about my prospects in another round of layoffs. My feeling is that I'd be kept on not because of superior technical skills but because I have better communications ability, project management and multitasking than most other folks around here.

That said, if they offered me a severence, I'd be off like a shot. I'd love to have a couple of weeks to just laze about the trailer in WV in the spring doing nothing but writing.
