copy laundry


Y'all ready for another crazy dream? My print shop friends will get a kick out of this one:

I dreamed I was invited to a party. Before it started someone handed me a label off a hair bottle and asked for a double sided copy. I go to the laundromat (?) nearby and attempt the copy on cardstock. I. Cannot. Figure out. How to get the sides to line up...but I can get two copies of the label to print on the same side of paper...

Mind you, during my time in the laundromat I teach someone how to use a black and white copier, a fax machine, and a color copier. And I think I loaded a washer. ðŸ˜‚ All the while getting super frustrated that I can't make this darned copy! I finally say to myself "ok, Becca, either you make this copy or you wake up."

I woke up....

Jurassic dream

Y'all ready for another crazy dream of mine?

I dreamed I worked in a large, opaque unmarked highrise. Inside we would bend time and space to create "portal balls" - bouncy, stretchy, and looked like liquid filled spheres that captured and jetted all the monsters and animals used in sci-fi or horror movies back to a time or place where they actually existed. Think Alien, Jurassic Park, ...and Disney.

Anyway, one day we were working with interstellar monsters and word got out to the activists who were against our work so they waited until we left for the day (my coworkers and I always left after dusk and traveled in different directions) to attack the building. When we were alerted we rushed back, but before I could get inside I rounded a corner of the building that had some high grass and realized some of the woodland creatures in Bambi had escaped and learned how to duplicate themselves. I had to convince their leader to round up his crew, go back inside, and we would discuss the consequences of them trying to take over Earth after I finished saving these activists from horror and sci-fi creatures who could easily overpower them.

Surprisingly, their cute furry leader was agreeable and even offered to help fight.

Once we got inside of course utter chaos ensued. Some of the activists had gotten into some serums we were using to keep the portal balls round and so they were in some weird trance and trying to climb through walls using ice ladders (yeah, I dunno).

I don't remember how we subdued everyone but I think it involved trapping some of them in other worlds before the authorities got there.

And then I woke up. Happy Monday, Folks!

work drinking dream

Y'all ready for another dream story? This one is about work...

As you know I work for a printing and manufacturing company. In my dream I was brought back a job that had two components - some drafts and a flipbook that kind of looked like coupons. I discovered a print error on the first page of the coupon book so pulled a manager over to help me figure out the job number - oddly none of the tracking paperwork came back with the job. We consulted one lady in our Quality department via WebEx (odd because the quality department is right behind Client Services) but she wasn't able to answer our questions. Suddenly the manager and I were pulled in through the WebEx back through time and space where we landed in a kitchen. There was a big fire going at the hearth and pot of bubbling...something. Three old sisters came in and started preparing tea over powdered sugar (what?) And chanting. The Quality lady was there and she says "this tea will help you see the job number. You must drink!"

And then I woke up.
