Shape Up and Ship Out

So last night I had another dream about Stargate: Universe.  In this one, I was applying for a PA position.  They already had a PA, but hired me anyway.  During the interview/hiring process, they informed me that I'd need to stay busy as long as I was on the clock, even it it meant continually checking on the cleanliness of the patio area and removing the often-flicked cigarette butts.  I had no issues with this, but throughout my first night I found myself sitting on sidewalks gazing at the moonrise, waiting for it to get just a little higher so I could take a photo of this gigantic moon over downtown Vancouver.  Supposedly I was supposed to be answering phone calls, and did receive one call from someone wanting the mailing address.  A bit later I realized there were going to be no more calls and was about to call my supervisor, when the other PA showed up and told me I was supposed to be in the office (which I didn't even know existed), and then the dream ended.  A bit anti-climatic, yes, but it had a message for me.

You see, a couple of days ago a friend and I were discussing commitment.  I didn't think I had any issues committing to things, except I never what to commit to and what not to, particularly when it comes to life paths.  This dream made me a little annoyed with myself, for in my dream I had achieved a goal: to work on a sci-fi show in Vancouver.  Yet I was so half-assed in my job that it wasn't going to last, and I knew it.  By not choosing something to commit to, I'm being half-assed in aspiring to achieve my goals.  If I'm going to get what I want, I have to put my all into it, and that's what I'm going to be doing now.

Who's with me?
