In June 2022, I applied for the job that I’ve held for some time now.

Roughly a week after I submitted my application, I got a call offering me an interview, and the interview slot itself was about a week after the call, so about two weeks after the date I applied.

During the week leading up to the interview, I had a very vivid dream in which I woke up somewhere out in the countryside in Ukraine, as a foreign volunteer fighting for Ukraine.

I wasn’t worried about seeing combat or getting hurt or dying. I was primarily worried that I was going to miss out on my job interview.
