Kaera: Hi.

Me: Hello. How are you?

K: OK.

M: So… Why you looking so down?

K: Dunno really.

M: But life is going so well.

K: I know.

M: New job, new girlfriend…

K: I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

M: Pessimist.

K: More like realist.

M: OK then, your concerns.

K: Take the new job…

M: Please.

K: That joke wasn’t funny when it originated.

M: Sorry.

K: That’s OK. Anyway, you speaking on the phone? You know you’ll find call center work boring.

M: And?

K: So, why?

M: A) didn’t hear you complaining while we spent £250 of someone elses money yesterday.

K: True.

M: B) it means we can afford the surround sound system for the DVD player we always wanted.

K: Also true.

M: C) a laptop computer.

K: Only if we last 13 weeks.

M: I’m sure we can answer the phone that long to get what we want.

K: OK, OK then. The Girlfriend.

M: What about Kat?

K: You are turning slushy. Your top 2 films of the year are romantic.

M: One I’d seen before I started going out with her, the other I expected to be in the top 2 before I went to see it.

K: With her.

M: Well, duh, that’s what couples do.

K: And all the holding hands and kissing and stuff.

M: See above answer.

K: Knew there was a reason for it.

M: No, the reason is that I want to do it.

K: It’ll all end horribly.

M: Just because that’s happened in the past, doesn’t mean it will do now. Look, just enjoy it. How long has it been?

K: OK then.

M: You not worried about the DM’s latest message?

K: No. Although I do feel sorry for those who lost important entries, I think we could survive without those we lost. You?

M: No. The DM took all the security measures he though were necessary before the attack. He’s now improved security. I’m notn a web designer, so I don’t know about these things.

K: Plus his latest message was nice.

M: Not even that. He did the best he could to restore the entries. That is all anyone could ask. Or should.

K: Can I go back to being a realist now?

M: So long as you are reassured about my recent run of good luck.

K: Sorta. Will that do?

M: Guess it’ll have to.
