I dreamt my boss called me in to a meeting and told me We've come to the conclusion that being Lead Copyeditor might be a little much for you. But don't worry, we're going to give you a new task.
He slides a book across the table to me. I open it up and find a lot of scribbles inside.
What's this? I asked.
We're going to put you in charge of ordering the breakfast burritos each morning.
We don't get breakfast burritos each morning.
No, YOU don't get breakfast burritos each morning. The rest of us do.
I pick up the book and can't make heads or tails of it.
Ok, I guess I'll just jump in. What kind of breakfast burrito do you want?
He proceeds to give me a complicated answer that's not breakfast burritoey at all.
That's not even a burrito! I exclaimed.
Then he raised his eyebrows and wrote something down on a pad in front of him (something like Can't even order a simple breakfast burrito, I'm sure).
Then I woke up in a cold sweat.
When I told him about the dream the next morning at work, he laughed.
So I think I'm in the clear.
Right?
