Northwestern
6:56 a.m.
I have an interview with a Northwestern alum at 9 am this morning. Last night I had a dream that I went to the interview. It was OK but my attention kept wandering. The interviewer was a bald, 40-year-old man with a black moustache. He wore a red and white striped shirt, like one I have in my closet but have never worn. I recall saying something about Fred Wilke in my dream—he was my boss when I worked at Sports Stats Inc. But in the dream I thought to myself how similar the name Fred Wilke is to Fred Wiese (my neighbor downstairs).
In a somewhat separate episode of the dream, I was living in an apartment in a tall building. I went down to get my car out of the garage. It cost five dollars to take it out but I swear that I paid only $1.50. Arbi, from work, was one of the valets. We were talking about how it was $5 to get my car this time but it was going to be $10 next time, or was supposed to be $10. These were just suggested rates. I was asking Arbi why anyone would pay any more than they had to. "You know how much I make," I said to Arbi. But he didn't seem to be with me on this.
