You're outa here!

I had the strangest dream last weekend.

On Friday night I went out with some co-workers and one former co-worker. We had a great time and let off some steam from the week. The former co-worker has recently gotten another job (she was laid off from where I work due to budget issues) and seems to really like where she is now. Which makes me happy. She's a good person.

She started telling us about a dream she had about our CEO. It was really funny, but not the point of my story. We then started talking about another co-worker who just got hired. At least a couple of us, not the whole group. She was hired for her reputation at getting things done. Someone made the comment that if she doesn't do what she promised, what will that mean? I suggested that she would be canned. Why keep a dead weight? She's already flaky enough. Why keep someone who can't live up to their promises?

So over the weekend, I dreamed that we were all at some meeting. Not sure if it was a staff meeting or what. It's after the new year I think and she announces that she will be leaving. She tells us when and all that. Making a big announcement.

I surmise in the dream that it's because she pretty much failed us and was leaving on her own to save face or was fired for it.

Not too mysterious of why I dreamed this, but kind of strange too. Very vivid and seemed more like a memory and less like a dream.
