Heh, wow, I was having a dream last night, and for once I was actually acting like my real self would in it (Cuz usually I'm either someone else or I act really friggin stupid, lol). Except for some reason I was in the military.
But at some point I was interacting with some people in the Warrant Officer division (working for our military, but not commissioned officers or combatants). There was a thin blonde chick (probably in her early 30s) who was in charge, and a few lower class secretary type people. There was this one middle-aged, pudgy brunette woman who was one of the latter whom I was talking to. She was a little slow, had a hard time reading and writing. Apparently she'd been given the job of just taking minor unofficial notes of goings-on for the convenience of everyone else. She was nice, very friendly.
But then the blonde biznitch kept calling her over and criticizing her for misspelling things on the notes and minor disorganization. Now, I had no business as an officer to mess with the affairs of W.O.'s, so I couldn't pull rank (I was somewhere up high-ish but not too high, not sure, maybe a Major or something). But as a human being I couldn't stand it and so started trying to talk sense into the in-charge chick. Trying to point out that it wasn't too important for these notes to be spelled right; they weren't official documents. And that it wasn't the other woman's fault. But the blonde was so closed-minded, I ended up yelling some kinda heartfelt tirade at her. I wasn't sure if I partially got through to her or not because I abruptly left afterward.
I went back downstairs (for some reason our base of operations was my old two-story house, lol) and reported to my superior (a middle-aged thin guy with red hair and a small moustache) that I had acted inappropriately in dealing with the Warrant Officer. My mom, I guess ranked above me in the same division, went up to talk to her, and despite being a very calm and no-nonsense person, ALSO ended up yelling at the woman. So we both then went back downstairs and she also reported to our superior that my misbehavior was warranted, though I quickly added that I would accept due reprimand anyway.
But then our superior went up himself... and came back saying that he had gotten the b**** to shut up with a few key words, and that we were free of blame for our behavior.
Heh... Just basically, I'll fly off the handle when it comes to emotional matters. This was reflected here; I have a hard time keeping things factual when I'm feeling strongly about something. Guess the military setting accentuated it. No idea why such a dream came up, maybe cuz I haven't even been myself for a long time due to health and sleep issues. But I'm slowly trying to recover again. So maybe "I" am starting to emerge again. If so, um, yay I guess. ^_^;;
