This is why I can't always figure out if I'm awake.

So I'm walking into work this morning at an insanely early hour when a a well-dressed, professional woman stops me and asks me where the library is.

"It's over there," I point. "The next building over."

She stares at the building. "But that can't be the library!" she gasps.

"Well, the part that's facing us is the theatre," I start, "and the library entrance --"

"But the building's BROWN!" she said.

I realized I had not had enough coffee. "Yes?"

"I can't go into a library if it's brown!"

I looked at the building. "Huh," I said.

"I can only go into libraries if they're blue," she said.

"I'm sorry," I told her.

The main problem with this conversation is that I figured that I had to be dreaming, since the conversation didn't make any sense whatsoever, so I tried to figure out how exactly I could get the dream to go elsewhere, when one of my co-workers came up to me and tried to have a sensible conversation, which proved, sadly, that I am not really dreaming, but am at work.

I'm sorry, I can't read your post. It has no pickle references.

I've never actually _seen_ a blue library, unless you count the ones with glass walls reflecting the sky.

I find saying "I'm sorry, but I am no longer allowed to continue this conversation with you" and walking away helps.

If she's referencing some really clever in-joke, she's got one on all of us, I'm afraid.

And this is why I'm trapped on this chair, unable to get around my apartment except by pulling myself around on the chair wheels by grabbing furniture with my hands. Because my carpet is BROWN. I can only walk on carpets if they're BLUE.

Of course it the lady had said she could only go into libraries if they were lemon yellow I would understand it. I mean how could anyone go into a library that is a color other than lemon yellow?

you should've said, "it's not really brown if you're colour blind."

or tried to convince her it was blue.
