I Can't Hear You, I'm Surrounded by Idiots

Night before last, I dreamed about trying to do my old job in a roomful of noisy people who were all loudly trying to get my attention or otherwise making my life miserable.

The resources I needed were missing, and I had just scraps of paper to make notes on.

The person giving me an assignment over the phone was elderly, vague, barely coherent, and (yet? of course?) evidently quite entitled to whatever the hell he wanted, whenever the hell he wanted it.
