\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I thought I’d have nightmares of homeland security people firing rocket launchers or machine guns out of helicopters at me, like the army did at people in Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Instead, I woke up out of a totally unlikely but very pleasant dream where I worked somewhere I never have, on a team project, and when it was completed, the team leader was given a $15,000 bonus, and she sponsored a night out and then we all had a party on a beach that lasted all night.\u00a0 Everyone there was super nice and the whole group was just great people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The only places I’ve worked at mostly had good people, an occasionally grumpy boss (who as going through a divorce and trying to quit smoking at the same time), and bonuses were never part of the work experience no matter how hard we worked on a project.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here in Washington, most, if not all, of the beaches are closed at night, most don’t allow fires or alcohol, so no all-night partying on the beach here, which is a huge disappointment as I always enjoyed the Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon Beach Party movies, especially the ones with the Rats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But it was a pleasant dream both because I was with a bunch of people I liked and it was on an ocean beach and I love the ocean but afraid to move there with the threat of a subduction zone quake and accompanying tsunami coming any time, not that I could afford to anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
