This Day In History

Dreaming of Work (06/16/2006)

Dream no small dream; it lacks magic. - Donald Wills Douglas

I had a conference call from 10:30pm until 11:30pm for work last night and then went straight to bed to wake up for a conference call from 8am to 3:30pm the next day. During the night I had a long and vivid dream about being in a meeting. Can't I at least have dreams about happy thoughts? The meeting had a double-decked conference table with two layers of people all packed together. The top level of the conference table was made of glass providing a great view between levels. I think the idea is genius. Patent pending.

During the meeting we paused to take a smoke break. I went flying. My standard dream flight is a slow levitation, but this was more of a gentle swim. I would float around the conference room and went for a jaunt down the hall outside by providing very light flipper kicks with my feet to propel me. It was fun.

After work I went to the Stanford bookstore to try and buy a new MacBook Pro. The store was sold out of the model that I wanted. It had seven in stock on Tuesday according to their inventory sheet. Since the school year is over, all the students are buying up computers before they leave for the summer. Mine next computer is on order. I guess I will get it sometime next week. My plan is to have it all set up and configured before I leave for the Fourth of July weekend.
