I awoke this morning with a triumphant smile on my face. Here's why...
Several years ago I worked for a family that was very annoying. First time parents, very over protective & the mom (Mrs. X) was a nurse, not to mention a real bitch. Her way or the highway kind of person. Back then I was a very timid person & didn't stand up to her but rather let her walk all over me and speak to me in a very condescending way. (I have to let you know that I have changed a lot since then). Well in the dream my husband and I showed up at a neighborhood party that they lived in, I don't know why. Mrs. X ignored me, her husband gave me a big hug & we chatted. Mrs. X was being her snobby self and didn't acknowledge me till she was about to leave. She asked me what I was doing these days & I told her I was a Med-Surg nurse on a floor in the hospital. Her response was surprised & she raised her eyebrows nearly to her hairline. I asked her what she was doing. She said that for the last 7 years she has been at her pharmaceutical job. I said "Oh." I had asked her how long she worked on the floor before she went into the corporate world, she said 2 years. (Inside I am laughing, ha, ha! She couldn't handle it!) So I asked if she keeps her clinical skills current and she said, "No." At that time she had been leaning her chair back on its two back legs and just then it slipped and she slammed her head back into the floor. She got up flustered and embarassed and stormed out of the house with her husband in tow.
Ha, ha, ha! (Evil, wicked witch laughing!!)
I know it's goofy. I'm sure some dream interpreter would say I have issues & I know I do. The very thought of this woman causes my stomach to tighten. So it felt good to think that one day I could give her a run for her money.
At the very least it inspires me to conjure up my courage to not be a doormat. I'm over that. Way over that.
