Recurring Nightmares

Once in a while I'll have the same dream (with very minor variations) several times in a row. Not several nights in a row--I'll have the same dream several times within the span of a few hours or even, once, in the span of about 20 minutes. It's as though the dream is on a loop, and just keeps playing.

Today is the day judges can start calling applicants for clerkships. The judges call, and you schedule an interview for next week. There's a bit of "strategery" involved, because applicants want to schedule interviews so that their preferred judges are early and second choices are later. Once you're given an offer, the protocol is that you take it and promptly cancel the rest of your interviews. I've only applied to a  small handful of judges, all here, and I'd be thrilled to get a call from any of them.

Last night I dreamed, repeatedly, that today was over and there had been no calls.

Today I will struggle to get done the 6 million things that need to get done yesterday, and I will watch the clock. Tick, tick, tick.

UPDATE:  I did get a call.

We're eagerly awaiting details. Of COURSE you got a call, and the rest will be bitterly disappointed that you're no longer available!

Of course you got a call, doofus.

I'm sure there'll be many more.
