I have an issue with past jobs and my dreams.
My first job-ever-was pretty demanding. It was at a frozen custard shop and before you laugh at that being demanding....let me give you a few "highlights" from working there for years.
*They used to time how fast we could scoop custard. Cones, concretes, etc. They timed it.
*After they set down their stopwatch they would get out a scale and weigh it. Seriously.
*I would work until sometimes after 1 am. While in high school. And then during college. It. was. horrible.
*I once slipped in the walk in cooler. Someone had spilled custard mix and wiped it up. With water. Which then turned into a black ice. I ran to get some stuff during an extremely busy summer nite and totally wiped out! I was SO black and blue and they were so nice to me. In fear of being sued. Ha.
*A man once claimed he gave us a $50. Except there was no fifty in the register. He then threw all of his custard items (I distinctly remember a root beer float exploding as it hit the wall). Now that was fun.
Anyway, I used to have dreams about this place all the time. Now that I am having those "crazy" pregnancy dreams? I can't stop dreaming about this place! I dreamed about a woman who abducted a baby there on her bicycle and then tried to shoot me--which never happened, btw! I dream about just working and working....scooping one treat after another.
Does anyone else have dreams about old jobs? Anyone? Or am I the only one who was so traumatized by this job that it is forever engraved into my brain....
Because let me say--there are many things I would love to dream about....but it is always this place...

as for the weird dreams - i always have them. so vivid and real it's scary!
NOT MORE CUSTARD DREAMS! STOP IT!
& yes, I still dream about my old workplace. or rather, old coworkers. grrrrrrrr. I just consider it confirmation that I made the right choice to leave.:-)
Love you!
Sweet dreams!
Sorry for the bad flashback dreams honey. But man do I miss the free really yummy custard!
Miss you all the time! :)
i had a job working at adt security and it was the WORST JOB EVER. while i was actually working there, i had dreams all the time, but since leaving there about 4 years ago i don't have them anymore...
Oh, the crazy preggo dreams. Not fun.
I love it when people try to quick change you, too, saying they had a certain amount of money, then they want $10s, no wait $5s...too much!
I love pregnancy dreams - they seem to be the only ones I ever remember.
Mine are always of the 'sexual' nature though. I have no idea why.
My husband loves me being pregnant.
Pregnancy does bring on the crazy dreams, doesn't it? Obviously that place scarred you for life and for that I am SO sorry! I hope you start dreaming about something else soon! : )
That place was AWFUL to work at! I think I only lasted a couple of months b/c they wouldn't let me make appropriate scheduling changes for soccer practice or something.
Funny that you still dream about that place!!!
I hate dreams about old jobs. They're old jobs for a reason.
I hate work dreams. My whole body tightens up and I wake up sore. From dreaming. Ouch.
I just found your blog. I LOVE IT! I am your newest follower AND I am putting your button on my page. :)
I HATE dreams about old jobs too. UGH! Awful feeling.
I heard on a radio show that because of the economy, people are having nightmares more frequently.
wow, that sounds like quite the workplace environment!! I used to always have dreams about marrying my college boyfriend (which would have been horrible), only to wake up and realized I married Chris and feel so relieved. I always wondered what those dreams meant! weird!!
Ha! I forgot about the timing and weighing of the custard products...they took everything so seriously there.
