I dreamed that my Neihu store was closing down. Besides my employee Olenna, I also invited friends to help out. However, everyone was distracted, cleaning half-heartedly while playing around. Only I was focused on sweeping the floor because I needed to return the space to the landlord on time.
When I went to the second floor, it was still littered with trash. Nina had spilled strawberry juice on the floor, and it had dried up without being cleaned. It was really inconsiderate of her.
I saw everyone just hanging around and thought, "I'm paying you all, can't you even take your own trash downstairs?"
I kept sweeping on the second floor and found a pile of catalogs, calendars, and promotional materials stacked in the corner. I called everyone upstairs to help move these things down.
As I continued sweeping, Helen's mother came and asked, "Can you finish all this cleaning?" I couldn't help but complain a bit to her. She remarked that young people nowadays are irresponsible and do things half-heartedly.
My husband also came to help with the cleaning. In short, I had a lot of complaints. I was closing the store because I couldn't keep it running anymore, and I felt it was because of these lazy employees. No wonder the boss couldn't keep the business afloat.
I went downstairs with the broom and saw the chairs were stacked but very messily. I suddenly remembered I had promised to treat everyone to a meal. It was getting late, but the place was still not cleaned up. I asked my husband if we should just order some takeout instead, but he suggested we still go out for a meal.
As we were about to leave, Olenna came to ask if she could have her keychain back, as it had her keys on it. I said, of course.
I later found out Olenna was rushing to a concert. I thought, "Isn't the concert supposed to start at 7 PM? It's already 7:30." She said she felt bad about leaving earlier.
"You did leave late, but you always do things half-heartedly. I was just helping you finish your tasks, and now you're late for your concert too. I don't know whether to praise or scold you. You're really bad at planning. If you had cleaned up properly the first time, I wouldn't have blamed you. When it's time to go, just go to your concert. Now you're late for the concert and the place isn't cleaned up. You always work like this, and it's exhausting for me." I had so many complaints.
This dream felt like I had a bunch of people to help, had to spend money, but the place still wasn't cleaned properly. Everything was done half-heartedly, and I still had to finish the job. It left me with a lot of grievances.
夢見我的內湖門市要結束營業，除了員工 Olenna，我還請朋友們來幫忙。只是大家都很散心，邊掃邊玩，亂掃一通。只有我專心掃地，因為要準時把空間歸還給房東。
我到二樓，還是滿地的垃圾，而且 Nina 喝了草莓果汁倒在地上，乾掉了也沒擦，實在很沒公德心。
我看到大家在閒晃，心想：「我明明都會付你們薪水啊！自己的垃圾，就不會順便拿下來嗎？」
我拿著掃把，繼續在二樓掃地，發現一大堆型錄、日曆、宣傳品，都堆在角落。我叫大家到樓上來，把這些搬下去。
我繼續掃地，Helen 的媽媽來問我：「這樣子掃得完嗎？」我忍不住跟她抱怨了一下。她說現在年輕人做事都是半調子，不負責。
老公也來幫忙掃地。總之，我的怨言很多。因為我已經撐不下來要收店了，心想就是你們這些懶散的員工，難怪老闆撐不下來。
我拿著掃把到了樓下，看到椅子疊放，但就是非常凌亂。我突然記起答應要請大家吃飯，時間有點晚了，但場地又還沒收完。我問老公要不要改叫個便當，老公認為還是請大家去聚餐吃飯吧！
正準備要離開的時候，Olenna 來問我說，剛才我收走的鑰匙裡面，鑰匙圈是她的，上面還有她的鑰匙。問我可不可以還給她？我說當然可以啊！
後來得知 Olenna 還要趕去聽演唱會，我心想：「演唱會不是應該 7 點要入場？現在都已經 7 點半了。」她說因為剛剛不好意思走。
「妳是晚走沒錯，可是妳做事情總是半調子。剛才我還在幫妳收尾，然後妳連去演唱會也遲到。我都不知道這到底是該鼓勵還是該罵？實在很不會計畫。如果妳一次就整理好，我也不會怪你。時間到，妳就趕快去妳的演唱會。結果現在是演唱會遲到，地也沒掃乾淨。以前做事就是這樣子，讓我實在覺得心累。」我滿肚子的怨言。
反正這個夢感覺就是來了一堆人，我也要花錢，然後又沒有收得很乾淨，全是半調子，我還是要收尾。反正就是讓我覺得怨言很多的夢啦！
