Today, I had a dream where I decided to jump up and down and stick my tounge out at my colleague across the cube. He may have stuck his tounge back out at me. Instead of going to my colleague or my boss in private to try to resolve the issue, I instead decided to PLASTER A HUGE POSTER WITH A VAGUE DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO I THINK STUCK HIS TOUNGE OUT AT ME ALL OVER THE OFFICE WALLS! My goal, in all of this, was not really to resolve the problem, but to try to make the individual (and for that matter, all of the fellows in his working group) look bad, thru innuendo and lumping them together as a class. And hey, I dreamed, I can even subtly insult the individual in question, and perhaps make it appear to be out of anger for being "tounged," and say things that the office HR manager has already said are a no-no in the office TOP (terms of postering).

When I woke up, I decided to log onto FT and read this thread. I'm wondering why it does not have anything to do with "Closing Threads" at this point, and then the stunning parallels with my dream finally dawned on me.

It also dawned on me that my behavior this morning makes myself and the office community as a whole in my dream look rather foolish and petty.

The gentle reader, of course, can take this to it's clear conclusion.

For the record, I think that this thread should be shuttered in the continuing spirit of "closing threads."
