Dream 017 - retirement, rain, missed appointment

I've been having some off nights recently. Either I haven't been dreaming or I've been too rushed in the morning that I haven't been able to post.

I'm back!

*start of dream*

I was at work. I'm standing in the open area of my department where our newest staff members sit. Two of the most senior people in the organization are rushing around to get the "password." The rest of us are watching them, looking rather confused. We get this strange look from one of them.

A while later, we're told to look at our website. When we navigate to the homepage, there is a flashing message. "The rumors are true! _______ is retiring May 25." I'm pleased with the news, as is one of my other colleagues. Another colleague starts bawling like its the end of the world. This will be the end of us, she wails. We'll be left without any direction and won't know what to do. I look at her like she's crazy and start explaining how this is actually a great blessing and with great timing. Then I look at the clock. I'm late for an appointment at 1:30 pm.

I rush outside into the rain. I hop on the first bus that's heading in the right direction. I think I'm close, so I ring the bell and hop off. I realize that I'm not even close and there are no more buses around. I start running through the rain. I pull out my cell with GPS and type in the address. I can't afford anymore mistakes. I look at the time. It's 1:30 pm on the dot. I keep running, but I'm not getting far. I look again at the time. It's now 1:45 pm. I've missed my appointment and now I'm worried about a missed appointment charge. Oh well!

*end of dream*
