First Day: Prelude

OK So I just woke up and I had dreams all night about being late for my first day. I had two really distinct dreams about it. In the first, I had 2 things that were supposed to happen at 8:30 this morning. The first I can’t remember and the second was my Apple Orientation. In the dream, I went to my OLD job instead, and around 10:30AM someone pointed out that I should have been at apple and I freak out, tear myself out of the room and the dream ends.

The second was much more vivid. In this one I had 2 things as well scheduled at 8:30: Apple and a press preview of Clerks 2. (The preview somehow was only 45 minutes, meaning I could get to apple by 9:30.) Of course in this dream I go to the movies, then over to apple. The guard/receptionist tells me that since I’m late on my first day, they will probably suspend me for a year – not letting me start at Apple for 12 months. Gak. Then the dream-head of apple security comes and gets me. (Played in my dream by the woman who plays the nurse ‘Lavergne’ in TV’s ‘Scrubs’!?!) She takes me on a tour of the campus and then into a small conference room where she shows me a big chart of all the different groups inside of Apple and starts telling me that since I was late, they intend to punish me by giving me a different job than I was hired for – something in another department or division, and I’ll have to work there until I’m allowed to transfer back to my original hired position.
