Working in PJs

Date: 11/25/2016

I was late for work and went to work looking like a mess - still in my sleep clothes. My office was open and someone's computer was docked on my desk. I was confused and scared/embarrassed because now someone is going to see me looking like a mess. I looked at the company sticker on the laptop and saw the name 'Amanda C----'. I recognized the name but couldn't remember who that was. I took the laptop off my docking station so I could dock my own laptop. As I was doing so, a red-haired woman walked in my office. She wore thin framed round glasses, had her hair in a messy bun, little to no makeup, nice but boring, cheap looking clothes. She looked a little embarrassed herself but didn't get too flustered. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry I'm in your office." I tried to carry on normally like I wasn't a complete mess and said "No worries. What are you working on?" as I handed her laptop to her. She went on about how she was glad to tell me about it because even though she didn't know me, she had heard about me and my work and wanted my thoughts. I was trying to focus on what she was saying but I was so tired and distracted by being in my office engaging in work conversation while in my pajamas. I pulled it together enough to talk about her work but then some guy (whom apparently I knew in the dream) came in my office. He began talking about the same issue (advanced home automation devices integrated with the security systems and various monitoring signals the devices send). I was trying really hard to be normal and engage in conversation but I really just wanted them to go away because I was tired and a mess. My cat showed up on my desk at one point which I played off like it was fine but it's totally not fine or normal to have your cat in the office, but nobody said anything or had any indicator that it wasn't fine! At another point a fancy jewelry box stand was conveniently in my office for her to demonstrate on.
