Man, what a dream I just woke up with... I dreamt I was on contract with the CIA, working with Kurdish leaders to prepare for the ceremony in which they'd finally be given an independent Kurdistan in eastern Turkey and northern Iraq.
So I'd been tasked as a PR consultant, apparently, and I was trying to hook up the news and publicity machine for the event. Then an assistant handed me a copy of the speech the Kurdish leader was going to read, and it was like 25 pages long, with tons of poetic references to Kurdish history and past heroes I'd never heard of.
I got on the phone and was like "Guys, guys, you're killing me! CNN is never going to show this in prime time! You've gotta cut this down to like five minutes and make sure there are some ten second soundbites they can use!"
So I guess this means my job is leaking into my subconscious now.
