You know you’ve been spending too much time thinking about work, and things related to work when this happens:
Shortly after the news of the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy, I dreamt that ABC News brought all of us from the KMBZ newsroom in to cover the event.
Ellen was our reporter in the field. Odd, because you would have thought she would be at the anchor desk, but in any event, she did a fantastic job.
E.J. was doing an infomercial on cat toys. Don’t ask me where that came from.
Jayme was producing, because, well, Jayme produces.
Scott and Mike were anchoring, but could only take one caller…some guy named Eric who claimed to be an expert on the Kennedy assassination. (The newsroom will understand where this came from).
And finally, Nichole, Grady and myself were on the floor, speaking to dignitaries.
The dream went haywire about the time we all realized that none of our equipment was working and I began to feel the stress and pressure that sometimes comes along with a rough day.
That’s when I woke up, went to work, and listened as ABC previewed the Kennedy funeral. What a weird night.
