It's no secret by now that I my job requires me to be online for extended periods during the day.  All of my co-workers are in different locations, so we keep in touch by chatting all the time, using IM.  Works great.

So, I wake up this morning in dread and panic because of the dream I had been having, involving said chat program.  In my dream, the program had rolled out a new version, and the way the interface looks had changed, so everything was completely different.  You could import your contacts to invite them to chat, and they had this "quick chat" feature that removed all text styling (why?  I DON'T KNOW. )

Anyway, while I was sitting there trying to figure everything out, and not accidentally import contacts that I didn't need, one of my co-workers pinged me in chat.  I had changed the chat view, though, so I couldn't read their message or reply.

OH THE HORRORS.  In my dream I was FREAKING THE EFF OUT.

I woke up all upset from this, people.  I cannot believe that I had such a nerdy lame-ass dream or that it instilled so much panic in me.  Seriously.  I'm going to need to make some friends, or join the PTA, or something, just to stop the insanity.
