This one sided covo was overheard coming from the 55+ year old mouth of the weird, geeky tech-support guy, lets call him Allen. Someone (i think from within the office) calls Allen to tell him that their computer problem is fixed. He quickly is districted by a pack of “hot rich girls.” I can only imagine who he could have been on the other end of the phone and their reaction. Keep in mind that this expression from Allen is not out of character.
There is a group of girls running by the office building yelling “whoowhooo”
I don’t know, must be from the high school nearby, rich area
I hate to say this but RICH CHICKS ARE HOT!
I was at (inaudible) the other day and wow…now I’m talking about the moms not the daughters (sure..)
I mean they got money to go to the gym, get their hair done, look good.
…No, no that’s not dirty….

not me but the same peer at the office who prompted this post. This time she dreamed about a different co-worker and the co-worker’s son. It was a bizarre dream as many dreams are, that’s another reason to keep it to yourself. I should mention that the dreamer is female and the co-workers she relays her work dreams to are also females. Do you think she would tell me she had a dream about me (being the man that I am). As innocent as the dream may be, that would really cross the line and rob me of the usual convenience of hiding my cringe behind the walls of my cube.

Rule number ____ (fill in the blank): do not tell your co-workers you had a dream about them last night. This hasn’t happened personally but rather overheard. However innocent the dream actually was, it never overcomes the creepy image/thoughts, even if you are “work friends” with the person. In fact it increases the creep factors when one says they had a dream “about you and another of your co-workers. That really drives the images. Because lets face it, dreams in today’s society have sexual overtones and intimate thoughts. And because dreams have very mysterious sources it adds to the “why exactly were you dreaming about me and what part of the dream are you not telling me” thought. Simply put, keep your dreams to yourself and if you are dreaming about work and your co-workers actually being your co-workers, in that capacity (and not your friends or lovers) get a life.
