I can do this job in my sleep…
I rarely talk about my dreams in waking life, let alone on my blog, mainly because they are usually boring work-related dreams. I call them “workmares.” Something like: I dream I’m back at the IN-N-OUT making french fries and I’m way behind and trying to catch up except that I’m me right now and I don’t even need this job, but I’m busting my ass to prove something to myself for some reason or other and then I wake up more tired than when I went to bed.
ANYWAY, last night I dreamt that I had to come up with advertising slogans to promote a ride sharing program for the city of Los Angeles. This is a little closer to what I actually do these days, so I suppose that’s why what I came up with wasn’t too awful. When I woke up, I still remembered them, so I’m sharing them here with you. Imagine the following slogans in block letters on the side of a bus or something:
Shuttle Up and Ride, L.A.!
Van Up and Do It, L.A.!
Bus-A-Move, Los Angeles!
Ok, I admit that last one is weak, but not bad for in my sleep. In the dream they told me these were too “edgy” and rejected them. I get that a lot in real life, too. Maybe it was just a “workmare.”
