Dream and Work Foo
Apr. 24th, 2005 09:59 amSo, had a dream last night.. can't remember too much of it.. just that I was running from some people with guns with like 4 other people.. we were trying to sneak into a small riverway that turned into a waterfall... unfortunately to go over the waterfall you were exposed to the sniper.
I managed to get over, but most of the others didn't... only one other guy did. Behind the waterfall on the bottom was a secret tunnel, and I wanted to use it to escape but the other guy wanted to circle back around and get the badguy behind all of it, so I went with him. He had a gun, but I didn't. Next thing I remember, we were in a gun fight, except since I didn't have a gun, I was coming out of cover and making gun noises so the badguy would have to take cover and the guy I was with could get into a better position. Unfortunately the guy I was with got shot, but with his last strength he tossed the gun in my direction and I used it and got the badguy. Then woke up. There was some other dream I can't remember.
Work was okay. One funny moment. One of the last things we do before we can go is empty out a garbage bin, full mostly of cardboard boxes we emptied and such during the work. For the last couple of weeks, we'd done rock-paper-scissors, with the loser being the one who pushed the bin from the door out to the garbage (though we both emptied it). I've lost all the time. We also had an argument about whether strategy was involved, or random luck. This time around, I made sure it was random on my side (cause I do suck at what strategy in things like that), by determining in advance through a random number generator which ones I'd choose - I lost, but I was able to argue that in this case it was just random luck, not superior strategy on his part. Anyway, we had a bit of other stuff to do before we had to push the bin, so we got into another discussion, can't remember exactly what, probably something along the lines of the recurring 'greeks invented everything' argument I jokingly support. So I got him arguing, making a point, until he didn't even realize he was pushing the bin, and I wasn't even helping (like it used to be before we started doing the RPS), I was just walking along and grinning, keeping the argument going. Finally when he was almost all the way there, he stopped and said, "Hey!". So I started laughing, and said, "Now that's strategy!" So that was a bit amusing.
