Company lunch
So last night I dreamt that the CEO of the company I work for was taking the QA and Dev team out to dinner. My wife was invited to come along also.
We took highway 87 (not a real local highway) to get there and at some point lost our car so we had to walk the last part. At the off ramp I found my wife's wallet, some of our blockbuster online movies and a jacket laying on the ground. I nearly got run over by a car trying to pick them up.
At the edge of this off ramp was a weird staircase thing that led down to the restaurant. Since it had been raining, the steps were slippery so we very carefully went down them. After several minutes we finally got to the restaurant and one of my co-workers (Scott) was waiting for us at the waiting area. He had this sad look on his face and let us know that the restaurant had decided they didn't have enough room for all of us and since we were the last to arrive, we wouldn't be able to have dinner.
I was a little annoyed until I looked over at where the group was sitting and found that there were around 8 2-person tables empty all around our group. The maitre-de came over and tried to explain that they couldn't use those cause that part of the restaurant wasn't open right now. (In real life I've been a waiter twice and handled significantly larger groups without much problem at all.) At this I just got plain pissed off, so much so that the maitre-de actually walked me out of the restaurant.
I was annoyed and it had started slightly raining again making the stairwell back up nearly impossible to navigate. To make things worse it had transformed to something different where at the end of each flight you had to jump up and grab a ledge and pull yourself through a hole to get to the next flight of stairs. The last one I just couldn't fit through. I remember looking down the side of it and seeing a big Ronald McDonald like it was some kind of play jungle stairs.
We gave up at that point and went back down so we could just take the elevator up.
At this point things start to fade out badly but I vaguely remember the elevator being near a magazine kiosk and something about a janitor, I think he took the elevator with us.
