…may be thrown into your gears, but it’s nice to have friends to help.
I got this email earlier from an old friend. Posted with his permission:
i had a dream bout you last nite.
You had your car in a shop and we were going to pick it up. when we got to the shop, they said your car was not ready yet. We decided to go get some lunch at Mimi’s cafe. They let you choose your own seats but they charged us $5.00 for it. They seated us and took our orders and charged us $15 for like a waiter fee or soemthing like that. We were pretty irratated at these random charges. i asked if we were expecting Mr. W for lunch but you said he couldnt make it. We were fuming when they brought our food and it was completely wrong. The waiter was a jerk. Everyone was mean there. gosh. i dotn know why you choose these places. >.< My mommy appeared to help us pack the left overs. When we left, we ran into Allan, Julie, John, (julie;s uncle) adn some other people. You waved but kept walking as i greeted everyone but you also turned to wait for me. When they entered Mimi's, for some reason, i had computer parts scattered everywhere. I was scrambling to put them into my backpack cuase you said the car was ready and they were only going to be open for another 30secs. Some mutant appears and helps me turn all my pc parts in sofas as a diguise and said he'll keep it hidden for me till i came back. we raced over to the shop and got your car just in time.
How bizarro!
.. like the bank commercial where they charge you a drive-up fee, a vacuum fee.. a fee to use the pen to sign your check… a round trip fee to transport your check and receipt.. a fee for asking questions.. a fee for having cover over your car so you don’t get your car wet when making transactions.. a fee for making a deposit.. a fee for making a withdrawal… and a fee for the bank teller to be nice to you… hehe
I might be totally off, but I responded to him, “You know what this dream says about you? That you feel like small mundane details out of your control always keeps you from reaching a goal. Sometimes with help from friends it works out (and in your dream you had lots of friends there with you), but life just keeps throwing wrenches in your gears.”
