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.
