S: So.. it looks like work is providing lunch for us on Friday.  Do we want to celebrate our email’s three month-iversary a different day?  (Also your birthday is coming up…)
A: Gah I know!  I was just looking at that too.  Oh yes I almost forgot about my birthday…  Err at least I’m trying to forget. :) We can do it any time the week we’re both back!
S: Perfect!  We can celebrate 3 month-iversary, vacations, and your birthday all in one go :)
A: Yes and this way it will give us something to look forward to for our week back.  Since we’ll be depressed and all that we’re here and not in the lower 48.
S: Well that’s… oddly accurate and insightful.
A: Oh he wants so desperately to help out.  Sometimes it’s hard to watch.
