Last night, I dreamt that I ran into a former colleague who left my company last year. He was pretty frustrated with the technology situation and his role here, and so he decided to leave and join a very high profile up and coming startup. I really enjoyed talking with him when he was working here, so it was sad when he left.
In my dream, we caught up by beginning with small talk, and he confided in me that he was actually in the middle of a very intense and messy divorce. His wife, who he has twin sons with, apparently had been a not-so-perfect stay-at-home mom by having some mutual friend over… in their bed while he was at work in Manhattan during the weekdays, and he had caught her in bed with the guy on a day he came home early from work. It was a crazy conversation, especially since I hadn’t seen him in so long.
This dream just goes to show what a chaotic and senseless week I had. This made no sense at all.
