"so, how was your weekend?"
me:
"great, i didn't have to do any fun things, all i had to do was some extra work for work. best. weekend. ever."
person 1:
"that sounds awesome. catching up with people in your life is overrated. it is much more satisfying to spend it in front of a computer. so what did you have to do?"
me:
"it was really exciting and also interesting. i had to write a submission for a review of the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Act. it's due on monday and this is essentially the first chance i've had to look at it."
person 1:
"wow, that is cool. it's a good thing they haven't given you any more people at work yet to help with these things. imagine if you couldn't do work on the weekend and late at night during the week because most things were covered at LRO."
me:
"yeah, that would totally suck. i mean, i really enjoy not being able to get things done and having to rush them through after deadlines have passed. it is really rewarding and sets a great example. the best thing is that it probably won't make a difference if we make a submission or not"
person1:
"yeah, that is good. it's not like you'd want to be doing all this work for a reason"
me:
"agreement"
person1:
"can i read it?"
me:
"cool your jets person1. having people read these things is not the point. it might put a curse on it or something. no one has read one of these submissions yet, and i'd hate to ruin the metrics"
person 1:
"k"
me:
"thxbi"
