Dreams 01/14/04

In the dream I had last night
I woke up and you had gone to work already;
I had slept in and you were already gone.
I got up and walked to the office to start working,
because this is all that I do now,
    walk across the hall and
    turn on the computer and start working,
but when I walked into the office
I saw that
    I think it was my computer monitor,
    but it could have been the little television
    right next to my monitor,
    I can’t remember which it was,
but I saw that a monitor was replaced
by the large monitor that is downstairs
    (the one we use for Ms. Pac Man)
and Ms. Pac Man was playing on this large monitor
    (you know, just the sample game was running),
and it was at 640 x 480
    because you couldn’t even use the whole screen,
and I wondered why it was there.
I guessed that you had to switch the monitrs
because you needed something for work,
and I guessed that you set this up for me
and that this was how I was supposed to work now.
And you didn’t even leave me a note
to explain why you did what you did.
