I had a dream

The other night I had a very strange dream. Don't worry, this dream is fun for the whole family -- no nudity or adult situations. One warning, though: you have to have been watching Grey's Anatomy for this dream to make any sense. I will refer to the character's name, not the actor. Off we go...

So it starts out in a small room in a hospital. I can tell this because of the stainless steel cabinets and the tiles on the wall. I'm there with Izzie Stevens -- very cute blonde doctor. Quite frankly, she's blathering on about her personal life and I can't really make out what she's saying. I look down and I'm wearing scrubs.

We leave the room we're in and run into Alex Karev. He's talking to me as we walk down the hallway. Basically, all I get from him is that there's a woman in labor and I'll be in on the birthing process as the 'proxy father' since the real father is not here yet. I seem somehow okay with this.

Next, we run into Christine Yang who is acting very hyper. She tells me that the woman giving birth is none other than -- Courtney Cox! (what she has to do with Grey's Anatomy, I don't know... but I run with it). Apparently, David Arquette has not shown up and they need a 'father figure' to stand in.

Okay, so Dr. Yang is explaining about all the operating room rules: No touching your face, hair or any other part of your body once you're scrubbed in. There will be no touching of any of the operating room equipment, you can't even touch any of the doctors... things like this. She is still very hyper. We are still walking down a long corridor.

The one thing I notice is that it seems more like a 'real' hospital than a glossy TV hospital. Things are well-lit on TV and this hospital is not -- like I say, seems very real.

Anyhow, we finally reach the O.R. and there's a round window in the door that I look through. Courtney Cox is pissed! She's laying on a table that looks more like an MRI machine, but it does have stirrups and there's a sheet draped over her legs. She's yelling at anyone in the room and beginning to throw things.

I look closer and I notice that David Arquette is now in the room with her and that's who she's mad at. He then proceeds to storm out of the room and is not making any motions like he's coming back. When he busts through the door, the group of us all take a step back to get out of the way.

Without realizing it, I'm in the scrub room washing my hands. Dr. Karev and Dr. Yang are there pointing out things I should be doing. "Scrub harder", "You missed a spot", "Not like that, like this" they tell me. I am then dressed in the 'gown' (that long drape that seems like it's on backwards) and the rubber gloves are snapped on.

I am then positioned next to a large metal table where Courtney Cox is laying. I am standing roughly over her left shoulder, looking toward her feet. I must say the table she's on is dirty. The paint is peeling and there's some rust. She is anxious, but I'm not sure if it's the nervousness of giving birth or the fight she just had with her husband.

There are about 10 doctors standing around her and she's visibly shaking, almost like she's cold.

I wake up.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The ‘Ol One-Two Punch

In an effort to follow-up on my job hunt, I must tell you that I was not offered a job from either company for which I interviewed. The first company I visited actually had me come back again. I saw this as a good sign. It is generally accepted to inquire about the status of the position a week after interviewing, which I was prepared to do. They couldn’t wait until Thursday and sent me a ‘dear john’ letter on Wednesday. The second company I was pretty sure wasn’t going to make me an offer. When I walked out of the office (after the interview) I just felt like they were looking for someone I’m not. Officially, the owner said he would have a decision made before Friday but, like I said, I’m not holding my breath. He said he had 4 or 5 candidates and – unless all of them decline – I’m not expecting to hear from him. Finding a job is tough. I spend a couple of hours a day looking through all the online postings, waiting to find one for which I’m qualified. It’s almost like begging, which ...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
