You know you’re Obsessing over Your Policy Report When…

So, I thought I‘d entice you with a quick read post before I post a more in-depth post later this weekend.  I came down with a gnarly summer cold earlier this week and am actually in the process of still getting over it!  It was so bad that it prevented me from going to work one day.  I ended up sleeping the entire day actually, therefore making it extremely difficult to go to sleep the following evening. 

Anyways, I had the craziest dream!  As many of you know, if you have read my previous posts, we are nearing the end of our papers… Final drafts are due this Saturday at 6PM EST!  At that point they are sent off to be published for the world to see.  It is at that point we begin preparing our remarks for the Congressional and White House briefings.  Big things are coming! 

My dream consisted of me, alone at the airport.  I was attempting to get onto a flight.  Where?  I’ll never know.  As many people do nowadays, I was using my iPhone as my boarding pass.  When I went to scan my boarding pass, all of a sudden it was no longer working.  I glanced quickly at my phone to see what was happening and realized my phone was no longer displaying my boarding pass… but rather it was displaying my policy report.  Not only was it now displaying my policy report, but now it was also displaying all track changes* of my report—FROM THE FIRST DRAFT UNTIL NOW.  Now, NOT ONLY was it displaying my policy report and track changes from start to finish, but it looked very eerie like a VHS does when it’s tracking**.

It was at that point that I woke up, freaking out and struggled to go back to sleep...

I cannot wait til Saturday y’all (Lol).

With that fun little distraction post, enjoy the rest of your week, do something fun and safe outside of your comfort zone this weekend, and stay tuned for Sunday when I post next! 

I hope everyone is trying to see a positive or two in this tragic week for Americans :-)

*For those of you who don’t know what track changes are, it is a review tool in Microsoft Word that allows yourself and other individuals to markup the paper.  See an example of me marking up this blog post before I posted this blog below:

**For those of you who don’t know what it means to be “tracking a VHS”, see this link here: You can definitely see how this can maybe be a little perturbing now?
