(Spring Blog #26) A Dream: Quitting my job...

My boss at work has been driving me crazy lately. I quit my Friday shift to focus more on school and I got screwed over on the weekends because of an ownership change. To make a long story short, the new owner promised to leave me alone, and then he went back on his word. My boss is a good guy, who's stuck in the middle admittedly, however he should've showed me more resepct than he did by calling me and telling me what this new guy wants me to do when he knows pefectly well that I won't do it. I didn't care anymore and called him and said that you can do what you want, but if you don't give me an assignment that I can handle after going back on your word then I guess you're losing an employee. He knew that I was serious and I was proud of myself for once--I actually stood up for myself.

I dreamed about quitting on these bastards "Scarface style" (the famous character from Half-Baked). I actually told my boss off in my dreams and they begged me to come back...which wasn't exactly the case in waking life, but I did get the assignment that I requested. I've been with them for a bit now and felt that I had enough cache to request what I wanted, which I actually got (Thank God). Here's that famous scene from "Half Baked" where Scarface quits in style, doing something which we ALL wish that we could do!

I think it's interesting that more work dreams are starting to appear on the blogs as the semester ends. The video is hilarious, but when I first saw the word "Scarface", I started imagining Al Pacino with a machine gun...guess I'm a little more violent. :)

John A. Dreams:

It's weird... I figured you would have a Scarface style dream if you were compensating for a lack of a good quitting in real life...
