I dreamt this morning about getting interviewed for jobs at small offices south of the beltline near the Arboretum. This was in the context of I'm starting a job on the 21st, but I guess I had set these up before that had become official and I wanted to at least follow through with the interviews in case they turned out to be places I'd want to work for later.

I went to one or two offices, but I remember mostly details about the first one. It was in a small dentist-office-style building. After walking in I came to a bend in the hallway where there was a secretary lady on the left who I checked in with. And then I went to talk with the boss and some engineers. It was kind of like a cross between meeting with Igor and my interview at Matrix. There were a lot of Asian guys.

Then I went down the road a little ways to another office. This area was like a college campus, with big, wide sidewalks everywhere. The entrance to second place was down a flight of stairs from the sidewalk. It was like going down into a subway station. And later, on my way back out, walking past crowds of people, I wondered "why are all these people streaming in and out of this office today? It's Saturday!"

I realized that I didn't have my backpack. I probably left it in that first office with all the Asian guys (there were a lot of Asian guys in the crowd over by the second office, too). And I ran into Barack Obama, and I talked to him for a little bit, but I forget what about. And then I went back to that first office and talked to the secretay lady, who was like Chinese or something, and she was like "oh yeah your backpack is over there", and I went and got it, and all was good.
