Short of Sleep

Last night I was dreaming I was at work taking phone calls, and had someone call in who just could NOT get it through their head that I needed some basic information to be able to pull up their account, before I could begin assisting them.  One of those dreams where the call goes on and on and on ... and when you finally get the information up on screen, the customer is just stupid and wrong anyhow!

Then, the night before I was dreaming that Maxx and I were at university (while married) and had been living in some sort of dormitory situation, but then during the summer we were moving out into our own place, which happened to be our old place in Richmond, little one bedroom with a really large walk-in closet.  In the dream, we're mostly moved in and then one of our ex-roomies comes by unexpectedly and is watching tv with us as we take a break with the unpacking ... then the other ex-roomie comes by and we're like "what are you doing here?" because we didn't even like her.  Imagine our surprise in the dream where these two folks informed us that they now lived with us ... and to take it up with the university.  When we contacted the university, they said that due to a housing shortage, our previous room-mates were going to be living with us from now on and there was nothing we could do about it.

So, we managed to just cram everything into the one bedroom and closet, and when we were dismantling the HD tv to move it in, these two yahoos were upset that they we going to have to watch tv in our bedroom.  At which point we put our feet down and told them that we may have to let them live with us, but we didn't have to let them use any of our stuff, they could just go get their own.  We even had the dishes and pots and pans in our closet, along with a fridge to store our food ... and would just come out to use the stove for cooking.  Obviously, we had to put a lock on our door to keep them out ... and boy were they ever unhappy as they were figuring they were just going to free-load on our expense they way they had been before!  Then the university contacted us to find out what was up, and we laid the same line down in the sand for them, that while perhaps they could force us to take roommates, but they couldn't force us to treat them like our children and provide for them, and if they didn't like it they could move out.

Needless to say, two nights of short sleep.

... And it's only my Wednesday!
