Dream for 4-19-6

I had another one of those stupid Panera dreams. Where your mind tells you that you must have been rehired because you know you don’t work there anymore. And naturally I don’t recognize anybody. So I get no respect. Somehow, telling people “I used to spank this place” doesn’t get you very far.

So, I’m watching people do their things, and I’m wondering what I can do with myself. I hear someone say double espresso, but notice somebody else is on it. I think, “I know, I can back.” Another employee is talking to an old lady, and she says she wants a shortbread cookie. I take some wax paper out of those blue boxes that are always around, and snatch it. I ask her, “For here or to go?” To which she replies, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Then some snotty coworker says, “You should help customers more!” ..I AM!!

At which point, some guy starts talking loudly that he’s holding up the place. To which I think, “Why the hell would you stick up a Panera Bread?” Whatever, everybody gets on their knees. He starts saying, “If you don’t answer these three questions right, I’m going to kill you!” I don’t remember seeing it, but he had a gun. I wonder how I’ll answer, truthfully or lie to save my skin?

Then I think, “You know, he probably won’t even reach me. Something will happen, someone will come out of the back or something and get him.”

At which point a police officer with a rather large shotgun burst through the front door and SHOOTS HIM IN THE HEAD.

…*laughs*

Kids, this is why it’s always helpful to think positively. If I hadn’t been thinking positive, I might have been stuck answering some Monty Python questions. Instead, the negative presence was SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH A SHOTGUN.
