It was late at night at Papa John's, and I was closing with Jason (one of the drivers). I think that it was supposed to be a Sunday night, and things weren't very busy. The phone rang, and Jason got the phone, and while he was doing that, I decided to start doing the dishes. There were lots of dishes to be done.
After Jason got off the phone, he rushed back and told me that Mariah Carey and The Dave Matthew's Band were staying in a hotel downtown, and that they had ordered pizza. I think that he had told them that we don't normally deliver that far out, or maybe I just assumed that he had. He was all smiling and his face was somewhat red. I could tell that he wanted to take it, and I told him that if something like that ever came up again, and we were slow like this, that he could go on ahead and take it. He said okay, and then I continued to work on the dishes some.
Then after a little bit he said that he was going, and for some reason I needed to follow him out part of the way. So I was following him, and we ended up heading downtown. I realized that he HAD taken the order and he was taking it to them. I was happy for him because he'd be able to meet them this way.
So as we got part way downtown, it was raining, and I ended up kind of sliding around or something, but somehow my doing so prevented Jason from doing it, too. I slid off to the left and up kind of onto a median strip or something, and I noticed that there were some black kids out around that area, and I was glad I hadn't hit them.
The next thing I remember is that I'm back in the store working on the dishes again. By this time the water has grown somewhat chilly. All three sinks were really full (within a half an inch from the top of the sink) and I was wanting to make the water warmer, not just so it would feel warmer to me, but I knew that it would help out with getting the junk off the dishes, too.
About this time, my mom and two little brothers showed up, and so I was telling them about Jason going to see the famous people in the hotel. They thought that was pretty cool, and then they just kind of hung around and talked to me and tried to find out what I was doing. I told them about the water being cold, and someone said something about using candles. It doesn't seem to me, though, that it was mom, but it was some woman figure, almost as if it had been an angel or something like that. It turned out that what I was supposed to do was take hot candles and put them down into the water to heat it up. I think that I tried it along with whoever was showing me, but it wasn't heating up the water very well.
So I ended up draining some of the water out and running some new hot water in. I think that just before I put the new water in, I was IN the sink looking out, and I realized that the part of the sink that I stand in front of was cut away, and that there was a chance of the little bit of water that was left in the bottom getting out and making the floor wet. Then I ended up getting out and putting more water in there to clean the stuff, and it was about that time that Jason got back.
He was just telling me that he actually got to meet them, and I thought that was really cool. Then soon after this I went to Pizza Hut to get something to eat, and I had some friends there. I don't remember who they were, though, but they were being really nice and joking with me. They were having some sort of trouble with getting my small pizza made, but I can't remember what the trouble was. After piddling around there for a little while, I think they finally got my pizza, and I ended up leaving, at which point the dream ended.
