What Dreams May Come Over and Over Again
I have been at my new job for 7 weeks now and I am not exaggerating by saying I have dreamed about it almost every night since I started. It is seriously chapping my hide and making getting a restful night’s sleep very hard. Every stinking night I am writing T-SQL, working with databases and tables and queries and blah, blah, blah.
The past couple nights I have really focused on figuring out how to stop this. Last night I kept telling myself that if I found myself dreaming about it again, I would just turn off my dream computer and walk away. So, I did. In my dream, I turned of the computer and was so excited that it work that it woke me up. Of course, then I fell asleep again and was back at my desk working.
I am at such a loss that I hate going to bed because I know it is going to suck. Maybe by writing this, I can exorcise my demons. Hopefully, I am not exercising them.
If only I could bill someone for my dream work.
… they’d only pay you in dream money, so what’s the point?
Just be grateful that you don’t work with axe-wielding rage-zombies. That would get pretty tiring night after night, and you’d really need the rest after a day of avoiding getting your brains munched…
Jen’s got a good point, but either way… I can’t help but apologize for this. Does it make you feel better to know that it’ll eventually stop? Eventually all the acronyms you use to describe your job will no longer be the taxing beast on your mind. Oh well.
Yeah, I know it will stop. The weird thing is that I love my job. I really enjoy it. I love the challenge and how much I am learning. But in the dream world, well not so much. It’s been a while that I had a job, or any type of situation, where I am focused the whole time, so it makes sense that my brain is still kicking at night.
