Working and Partying

Last night I had a dream that I was back where I used to work...again. *sigh* The place was a mess. It was very busy. One ex coworker was not there doing her job. I was asked to take back some equipment in her place. The customers asked me if I was the only one working there. Yes, I said. The customers looked around. I explained that normally someone else was there (the woman they saw when they picked the tableskirting up) but that I did not know why she wasn't there. I took back the tableskirts and had another customer bring more back. Once I finished, I called up to my (now ex) boss to tell him who returned what, but suddenly I couldn't keep them straight. One of them had returned x lavender skirts and n beige or ivory while the other customer had returned m beige or ivory and y lavender (m, n, x, y each = 3 or 5 but I can't remember in which order).

Suddenly I was in a large hotel walking through the hallway of one of the floors. I walked into a room that had construction going on and picked up a dark gray metal case. It had a camcorder and supplies in it. I was already carrying a light colored, white or ivory box. I left the room and walked down the hall to an elevator, pressed the button, the doors opened and I stepped in. The elevator was very large, the kind seen in a hospital that is used to transfer patients in gurneys from floor to floor. At first I thought someone else was standing in the elevator, but I looked again and saw the walls of the elevator were decorated and there was a lifelike person painted on.

I looked for the # floor buttons to press an appropriate one, but there was none. Suddenly there was a person standing there and she told me I was on the top floor the elevator could only go down. I ended up in the lobby where a big Christmas party was in the final stages of being prepared. Guests would be arriving any moment. There was a huge green decorated Christmas tree in the center and 60" or 72 " round tables were set up all around it, with white linen tablecloths. Someone in authority was setting up a table with fluted champagne glasses he was in the process of filling.

I retreated back to the elevator to go back up, but I ended up at a regular smaller people standing in it size. I got in and pressed the button for the top floor, but it was for a floor higher than I was previously on. I had realized I'd forgotten my bag of clothes so I pressed the button of the floor where I started out. I got off and went back to the room where workers were working on the room. I went in then wondered how I was going to carry everything to my new room. I was suddenly afraid to leave stuff there to make 2 trips and also didn't want to leave the camera equipment anywhere.

I was secretly told to take pictures and videos all night of a certain guest who would be showing up at the party soon.

Then I woke up.
