Dreams of bears and unemployment

Uncategorized, , ,

 I can’t remember the entirety of it, but I had a dream today which, in the last scene, showed me talking in bed, under covers and naked, with a nice-looking guy who is bald and as hairy-bodied as myself (save with a *much* longer, handlebar-like mustache and hair which is mostly dark reddish and curly).

At one point, we were relaxed and bantering with each other, my arm wrapped around his chest, the sunlight flowing into the large apartment/hotel bedroom window. 

Next thing, I can recall, as he was slowly getting up to straddle himself on top of me, the question about money came up. I am pretty sure that I was discussing my desires and ideas with him. Suddenly, he was all like "I don’t know why you’re so worried about that!" I responded, "Wait, don’t you have a job?" 

"Of course not!"

And at that point, the dream began to unravel as my hackles were raised a bit. I’m very sure that I began to hurriedly think of how I should present myself at a job, or what niche idea I should pursue in the IT industry, but it was to no avail.

I woke up with memories of a sexy, unemployed guy in bed with me, along with regrets about my current state of unemployment. 

I’m getting hired (well, sorta)

I should be glad tonight. Beginning next week, I’ll have a “job”.

But I’m not, considering that I’m being hired by Mom’s church (yes, THAT one).

I won’t reference the URL of its site, since any linkage to it could be traced back to this LJ via Google, and I’m rather wary about how computer-literate some members may be (to use Google like that, at least).

However, I am being hired by the head of the church’s Youth department to create their own particular site (which, I suppose, will be semi-autonomous from the church’s site).

It won’t be the first time that I’ve helped them with something in my free time; I installed Adobe CS2 and Final Cut Pro on two of the Video department’s Macbook Pros a few months ago (they also have a PowerMac G5 in the Editing room in the very front of the church).

It shouldn’t be that hard to work on a website, either; I already have an idea of what it’ll be, what it won’t have, and other outstanding features (it’ll be a semi-protected wiki; no Flash except for embedded videos a la YouTube).

But what makes this ironic is that its already been a year since I left for Atlanta in a bid to get away from this institution; now I’m back, in a worse state, and am now being hired by this church (the first job that I’ve had since I worked at the church-owned assisted living facility for the 2nd semester of my 12th grade year).

What a difference a year makes….
