i told you i'm stressed!
I woke up this morning in a cold sweat after a particularly bad dream. It was one of those dreams where you wake up and lay there for a few minutes just thanking your lucky starts that it was nothing but some sort of mental mind game your brain was playing to keep itself entertained while you slept. And then you get paranoid that its actually more than that, that its some sort of warning or glimpse of what is to come.
So what was this most horrid nightmare I had? I dreamt that I was getting some sort of performance review at work and that all the different attorneys I have worked with over the last 8 months or so had to provide supervisormentorchick with feedback on me. She started reading the responses. The first one spoke glowingly of me and how hard of a worker and how dedicated and intelligent I was (duh!). I sat there beaming and waiting for more ... and then she said "I have to warn you ... they're not that good from here on out ...". And she proceded to read me paragraph after paragraph about how I was very obviously just not cut out for this line of work, how it didn't seem like I really cared about what I was doing, and about how my intellect was way way below average. She then informed me that with reviews like that, there was no way I would ever get hired ... there or anywhere.
Now do you believe that I'm a little freaked out about this whole job thing?


I knew I was stressed at work when I started having dreams, too... only in my dream, two particularly troublesome students wouldn't stop sharpening pencils during the middle of my wedding ceremony. And to top things off, I for some reason had volunteered to teach a class in between the ceremony and the reception! I was then the last adult in the building and had to clear everyone out, so I was chasing obnoxious high school girls around in heels and a wedding dress.
Just one more reason to never work again. Wanna become a professional bum with me?
