Man's Woman

I was applying for a job at a hockey rink- sort of like a "water girl" for the team, but not. The other girls that were sitting waiting for their interviews were all dressed down, wearing jeans and hooded sweatshirts. Although that is what I would be wearing for the job, I wanted to look nice for the interview, so I was wearing slacks and a nice shirt (short sleeves, so I'm surprised I wasn't cold). I walked in (with my mom) with a giant smile on my face to make sure I made a great first impression. I walked up to a table, and the first thing they asked me was if I had any experience. I knew that experience was not required, but could tell immediately it was greatly preferred! And unfortunately, I had none. I started to say I kind of had some experience (but just because I dated a hockey player in high school doesn't mean I have experience as the team "water girl" or whatever), then eventually just said "no, not really."


Earlier in my dream, I was playing "boyfriend." I know what you're thinking: "excuse me??" My best friend, Alice and I were somewhere together with a bunch of other people, but I can't remember what we were doing. At one point, I sneaked away from the crowd to leave a surprise for Alice. I had a canister of rose petals, so I sprinkled them on the floor to Alice's room where she was staying and on her bed. (It made a sort of "shaker" sound when I shook them out of the canister instead of using my fingers.) Alice was in another room, but could see me around the corner at one point, so she found me out. Not as much of a surprise as I would have hoped. I don't know why I did it, except I wanted to make Alice smile. I knew she would get a kick out of it! And she did, when she saw me from the other room.
