WL1 shows up at my home unannounced, a surprise visit. He walks toward the backyard. I ask out of politeness if he'd like a tour of the house, dreading a yes answer. He declines and says that he's just here to get rid of the pizza they had at work.
He flings the pizza toward the far end of the backyard. It's a small, whole pizza, and it flies like a Frisbee. But wind from the West gets under it, so it tilts and then circles around. It's acting almost like a boomerang, but it loses momentum, falls to the ground and breaks into a couple of pieces.
I suddenly realize it would've been neat to get a video. I wish I'd known he would do that so I could video record it and maybe have him toss it into the pond.
I pick up the pieces and walk toward the pond. I have the cellphone in my left hand and the pizza pieces in my right. It's hard for me to start the video, so I throw it first and then start the recording. However, te pieces fall to the ground before the recording starts.
WL is the recruiter my employer retained several years ago and who died a couple of years ago. He once commented on a photo of my wife (admiring my wife's legs) while visiting my office one day, prompting me to reposition the photo and angle it away from the entrance. He'd bring in birthday cake every month and pizza occasionally. I was always polite to him and thanked him several times for his effort, yet I preferred to avoid him.
In this dream, I'm no longer employed at the company.
