My audio engineering dream / nightmare

This past Friday, I took over as the lead sound engineer at church.  Today, I woke up from my first sound engineering-related nightmare.

In the dream nightmare, I had to record speeches of two different political candidates who were speaking in separate classrooms at a local high school.  Naturally, the classrooms were on opposite sides of the building.  And for some reason, I had to plug in my little Sony ICD-SX712 digital recorder into a huge, tangled pile of XLR microphone cables in order to capture the sound.

At the end of the nightmare, I was sprinting back-and-forth between the two classrooms, but while I was in one classroom, somebody stole my digital recorder in the other classroom.

Moments later, I woke up - and I was relieved to see that my actual unit was still here at home.  I hope I don't have anymore nightmares like that.  And I'm grateful to have put money into this little beauty, instead of MiniDisc.
