Several business problems. First, two of my employees (who are actually each married to other partners) were going together and broke up, so neither of them is showing up for work.
Then I am thinking of expanding back into this large space behind where we have been working. It's on the second or third floor, and has a concrete floor, but it is cavernous with hugely high ceilings. I am thinking of constructing a wood deck above the concrete for a sailmaking floor. But I notice that someone has moved in some table saws and other wood working machinery.
Some men in blue coveralls with their first names embroidered on the breast are working on them. I ask them what's going on. We're making the signs, they say. I suddenly realize that, although we've been working on this floor, our lease is really for the ground floor. The man who I have thought of as our landlord turns out not to be. They're serious, he says, you'll have to move. I am distraught... this is a disaster.
