Buffet Dream

I just had a dream where I was at a buffet and it was really busy. They didn't have enough workers, so I decided to help out as a cocktail server. So, I walked around this busy place and asked, "Can I get you anything?...Cocktails...Anything from the bar?" One gentleman asked for a "70's" espresso. I knew there was no such thing, but I just smiled and said that I would get him one. I figured I could just get him a regular espresso, but wear polyester or something when I brought it. He was nice and foreign. I guessed that if I didn't bring a "70's" espresso, a regular one when you're on vacation in another country wouldn't be too much of a shock.

Another man asked for a ham sandwich. I was shocked and said that I served cocktails and he angrily replied, "I'm sure they have ham sandwiches here. Get me a ham sandwich!" He was very cross and I figured how hard could it be. Well, I couldn't find an espresso machine or any ham sandwiches. I looked all over the buffet, but I eventually gave up. I had no desire to get this stuff for the men anyway. I thought one of them was being unreasonable asking for items that don't exist and the other one is just a jerk.

So, I left the buffet to see the rest of...apparently, a maze/amusement park where the amusement was a bizarre maze. It was actually quite fun to walk around in, but by the time I found the people I was with, a real cocktail waitress came up. She said that I abandoned those people after pretending to be a cocktail server. She called security to escort me out. The End

  1. You, friend, are funny. Of course, I started reading this entry having promptly forgotten it was a dream after my return from clicking on the riotous "buffet" link.
    I was so puzzled by the bizarre people at your job. I was like... "He deals and then serves drinks if it gets too busy? Man, he sure is accommodating. I would've told that ham sandwich guy to go fuck himself. At least I hope I would've."

  2. It is clearly a dream about my work. When people make unreasonable demands at work, we are suppose to accomidate them as much as possible. It's frustrating at times.
