Dreaming of editing overseas

Last weekend, I had a dream where I was working for both CBS46 and CNN at the same time.

It started when I was at CBS46.  I was supposed to edit a story package for that station, but my boss whisked me away from my edit bay into another room.  Before I knew it, I was transported to Islamabad, Pakistan.  That led me to work on another story for CNN.

I was supposd to edit a package for the Cable News Network.  Insted, I wandered in and out of my edit bay.  After that, I walked outside on the streets of Islamabad and I didn't believe what I found on the ground.  I found some flyers for KFMB-TV Channel 8 with some event I don't remember.  I saw the 1980's News Ei8ht logo.  Google it if you don't know what that is. 

I was approaching my deadline to complete the edit on the package.  I was way behind and way short in achieving my goal for the assignment.  When I went back into my edit bay, I saw all of the machines were turned off and I could not get back to work.  I panicked.  Something hit me in the end of my dream.

In reality:  I woke up.  I have never traveled overseas (unless you count Cozumel and the Bahamas).  I realized that I didn't have my parking pass for Sunday's Def Leppard/Journey/The Pretenders concert.  Thankully that issue got resolved in time for the show.

I will watch KFMB on cbs8.com again, I still work for CBS46, and I don't think I'll go back to CNN again.
