I had a great and relaxing Thanksgiving with my family.  However, the work day that immediately preceded it was surprisingly stressful.  It gave me an anxiety dream that night.  In the dream, I went on a business trip and twice left my hotel building without any pants.  Since I didn’t have any pants, I also didn’t have any keys, so I was effectively locked out of my hotel.

Fortunately, both times I happened to carry my cell phone.  I was able to call a special company that assists people who lock themselves out of their hotel room without pants.  A sort of Triple-A for the publicly naked.

The second time I had to call, I was extremely embarrassed.  But I felt better after talking to the helpful operator.  “We’ll send someone right over,” she said.  “Don’t worry.  This sort of thing happens all the time.”
