Dream 284

I was picking up a PC from the mailroom to deliver to a user.  I brought it up the elevator to our work area until I realized it was brand new and hadn't been prepped, so I went back down and left it in the area to be properly prepared.  Later I went back to pick it up and saw that the cover had been pried loose; a needle nose pliers was still stuck in the grill.  

No one seemed to know who it was for or what office it was to go into.  I was getting increasingly frustrated, toting the thing everywhere, and occasionally forgetting where I had left it.

I met a middle aged woman I thought was the user, but turned out to be a friend who knew nothing.  I screamed that I was having a nervous breakdown.

In the office I wanted to buy a soda and kept putting coins in a slot, only to realize that it was a donation can and not a dispenser.  I looked in a number of fridges but could find nothing, so I went to the bottom floor of the building and got more change.

A woman behind me was trying to buy something from a machine, but she was 8 cents short.  As I couldn't seem to make any progress with what I wanted, I offered my change then dumped it in her purse.  She kissed my lip passionately with gratitude.

I was going to take the elevator back up to the office and then leave for the day.  I thought it was the 105th floor--one below the top--but someone pointed out that the 410th floor would be that level, so I reluctantly decided on that floor.  Maybe there things would become clear.
