a Fate worse than death

 Last night I had an almost all night dream of working on a piece of code where the deadline was looming and I hadn't started writing any code. It was so amazing because at one point I woke up with my heart beating faster. And people on the team would come by and say how's that code going and I would say I haven't started writing it yet and I would look at them and they would look at me, and I could feel the stress of the deadline approaching, and I wasn't writing any code.

At one point we were outside on what looked like a giant roller coaster ski lift. It was on cables but it would go slower uphill and faster downhill. We were sitting four across. There was a guy sitting to my right and there was an attractive female sitting to my left. It was brisk but not particularly cold. I had a blanket. No one else had a blanket. So I asked a girl next to me if she would like some of the blanket. She said no sort of flatly. Maybe I should have added no hanky panky I promise.

 we got to a building where we were going to be working on the code but kind of like at a ski resort. So we get inside and everyone takes their tennis shoes off and starts making coffee. And I'm sitting next to this girl again. She seems somewhat more relaxed now. Which seems really bizarre that they would put all this into a dream right she's sort of warming to me as a person but I mean there's actually no sense of romance. Kind of interesting. Anyway at one point I say I need to get by her so that goes just fine. Then I forgot where I took my tennis shoes off so I'm digging through a bunch of other tennis shoes and other people are coming over and getting their tennis shoes also. Then finally it hits me that my tennis shoes are about 10 ft away. So I go put on my tennis shoes and my socks in reverse order of course. And that's kind of the end of the dream we're still waiting for the coffee.

 It was so beautiful because you could feel the hopeless dynamics of the team. One person, that I was replacing, had either been fired or left in frustration, because this part was particularly tricky and they didn't know what to do about it. So they hired me, The Hired Gun. 🔫.

 Interpretation of the dream: now the thing that is sort of weird about this dream is it's kind of like getting ready for bed and then sleeping in my apartment which I'm letting get kind of cool at night and so the thing on the ski lift was kind of like the coolness of me being in bed with a blanket, see. And then we get there and I take off my tennis shoes which I take off my tennis shoes every night when I go to bed with my socks laying there on the floor and that's exactly what it was like in this dream so it's kind of a strange like dream where they were trying to make it stressful but then sort of mix in my daily routine of today which is kind of like what's the point of that? I mean I don't know.
