Oh man!
I woke up sweating from a horrible dream. Nightmares are very common inside my brains, so they usually don’t bother me. I think my work has been finally getting to me. Well, I’ll just tell you the story and you’ll decide –
Visual me sitting in front of the computer (just like this very minute), and my firefox is up and running. At the bottom of the screen I have this adsense addon, it shows how many page impressions / money I made on my website. Was browsing for my pleasure, as I noticed that the numbers slowly increasing. At first I was happy I made few more cents, but those cents turned into dollars, and into tens of dollars and you could feel it in the air that something is wrong. It wasn’t a nuclear war, but I quickly alt-tabbed to my putty terminal window, and saw that my file-server has crashed, and that could only mean one thing — people are clicking on ads because the website is down and they don’t know what to do! The Big G isn’t very fond of such shinnanigans, and I love my gmail/adsense/glife accounts so much that I started panicking. I don’t want to get nuked, I have to clean this mess up quickly!! I started typing commands in my putty window, but I couldn’t remember where I put my files! Friends IM’d me and flooded me with text messages and kept my input focus aways from my putty. It was a warzone, and in the background the money is still going up. Google is not going to like me after this one..
I don’t know how it ended. I woke up.
Damn, where are those nightmares with snakes?
I don’t want to lose money in my dreams, why the hell do I go to sleep?
Yeah. I guess it IS stupid; where’s the tower, where’s the gun?
