Featured: I ruin Renee Fleming's aria
I was backstage at the opera and my responsibility was keeping the floor clean. Someone spilled something and I was cleaning it up around various people's feet. It was the very end of an opera—I'm guessing Strauss because it sounded like him—and she was singing the final notes, which were sung very softly. I made a clunk sound and a guy got really mad at me for ruining that final note. (I truly don't think the audience heard the clunk, but maybe they did.) I kept cleaning because it was my responsibility, and someone might have hurt themselves if they slipped.
Annotation
I am a really responsible person. If I think my job is to do something than I will do it.
I hate people who ruin the very end of operas by, usually, clapping too early. But a clunk would be bad.
Renee Fleming is an opera singer, which I assume most people know. She sings Strauss a lot, and I often listen to the Arts channel on TV and they often play pieces by him I don't know, but I can always tell it is him. So, I am sure it was in my dream, too.
