Just being consistent?
Aug. 6th, 2004 08:46 amI don't want to work today.
I've been having very vivid and weird dreams lately. I think they're just work stress, but they're so odd..
Last night I dreamed I was taking my family to a candy store in NY before they had to catch a plane home (we live 30 min away). It was raining and half way to the store my umbrella broke. It was my blue plaid umbrella that I carry in my car. One of the spokes came loose. I put it in a stand at the store that had a sign "leave an old one, take a new one.".
The store was really crowded and two stories. It was old and overstocked in a charming way, like the Strand. Everything was insanely cheap. I was carrying my backpack and my side bag/satchel and was being very attentive to not hitting people with them in the crowd. It was annoying because the other people we're pushing and shoving.
I was upstairs, looking at greeting cards and picked up a Christmas pin that was regular price. Everything on that rack was a normal price. All the other items in the store were under a dollar. Not that it was advertised in that "dollar store" way, it just happened to work out that way.
I had some candy and got on line to check out. It had stopped raining and my parents and the rest of our party were waiting outside to go to the airport. A woman pushed in front of me and cut me on line. Then she started berating me for having a backpack on because it touched her and it was rude. I took her rant for a while, trying not to be rude in turn, but finally told her it touched her because she pushed past me to cut me and the rest of the people on line. I was really embarrassed by the whole thing.
She turned around and then wanted to pay by check. The clerk said they didn't take checks and she demanded to speak to the owner, who was in the basement unloading a shipment. She insisted on waiting. I picked up a big bag of M&Ms that was on the rack by the counter to see if they were those cool Shrek size M&Ms. They weren't. The bag was heavy (like 5 lbs!) and tore when I was putting it back. None of the M&Ms fell out though.
I had to get my parents to the airport and the store was really hot. I started to get really anxious. I started to feel really bad for making my parents and the rest of the group run late for their plane. I put down the stuff I was going to buy and then I left the bag of M&Ms and $3 on the counter and left.
When I got outside, my party asked what took so long.
Weird, huh?
