Swanky offices back at EIT - 2019-12-25 - TOGoS's Journal

Dreamt that I was back at the EIT office, I guess because they had found work for me and were hiring me back. The space looked nothing like in real life. There was a well-lit main room/hallway, which came from (let's say) the west, and dead-ended at its west end. There were 2 or 3 offices on the north side and at least one on the south. The easternmost one on the north side was my old office. The first room had a couch, and then there was another room behind that. I missed my couch. But that was someone else's office, now.

I was going to get the office next to that. It wasn't as large. It was only one room, and reminded me of someone's dorm room from college (specifically, it reminded me of one from Dobson or Melcher Hall, as if it had been a cool place to chill, even though all the dorm rooms were basically rectangles). The east end of the room had kind of a nook, and it seemed like it could be really fun to put a shelf over it, put some plants on top of the shelf, and have the area underneath the shelf be like a reading/chillout/nap space. I'd make it nice and cozy.

And it seemed while I was in that office that I was watching a movie about a lady who was a soldier, being flown around in some big sci-fi military plane. She was eating breakfast with a bunch of other people while the plane flew upside-down (it was flying around above the surface of some alien planet, avoiding mountains and stuff), and she just kept eating breakfast like nothing was unusual because she was so badass. Later she had to jump out into some deep water and then there were underwater laser battles and stuff.

And then Sara and I were sitting on a couch in Woody's office, which was on the south side of the hall. His office was even nicer than my old one. It was a big square with a smaller, rectangular room off to one side, and had a bed, a nice couch, and a kitchenette, and big south-facing windows.

EIT offices. Actually it seemed more like cming out of Woody's office, my new office was either straight ahead or to the left, but close enough.

And I was thinking about how nice the office was, but also remembering that part of working at EIT was tracking hours and filling out time logs, and how much I hated the stress of trying to keep time billable to some client.

In another part, and this seemed to also branch off of the sci-fi military movie, I was with Sara and Moriah, on some little mini-adventure. There may have been a vehicle involved. But then there was some machine (maybe our 'car', or maybe some vending machine) that I had to fix. There was this plate spring that I was adjusting. And I was thinking to myself that watching me mess with this machine is probably really boring for Moriah, which made me worried that she might leave, because I wanted to spend quality time with her while she was around.
