Dream Trek

The dream begins at a CEFCO Gas Station. It's the one I used to work at. I haven't been to the gas station in months, and I'm surprised to see that there are tons of coke machines... So many coke machines that they are overflowing into the parking lot. The inside of the store is loaded with so much merchandise that you can barely see through it to the clerks.

I go to the back of the store and strike up conversation with the employees, expecially the new manager, who appeared to be Jonathan Frakes, or Commander Will Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I was trying to get my job back, but Riker didn't think that was such a good idea... But he told me about a different job that I might be interested in -- Playing a crewman on the new Star Trek series.

A crewman on the new Star Trek series???!
Actor... New... Star Trek... Series?!??!?!
You should have seen the look on my face.


All the potential! I could have a few lines they think are cool, and I might get brought on as a regular, like Chief O'Brien! Hell, even if I don't I can show my trekkie friends my ass when I'm working in engineering in the background. "Check it out! Ensign ME!"... I could say that I was an actor on Star Trek!

So there I was, getting dressed into my uniform. I was in a Yellow shirt and black pants... an original series style uniform... I was greeted by Geordi LaForge and talked for a few minutes, before it was time to move on to the sets...

I noticed other actors were wearing the new style uniforms -- Holy shit, I'm wearing the wrong uniform!!! SHIIIII--- And then I noticed that my uniform had a stain on it.... DOUBLE SHIIIIIIIII

Then I woke up.
