Me: So how�s it going?KillerWorkout: Oh, fine. Thanks for calling last night to warn me about Freddy vs. Jason.
Me: You�re going to see it, right?
KillerWorkout: Well, of course.
Me: Good boy.
KillerWorkout: How�s work?
Me: Worky. I swear they�re starting to drive me crazy over there. Every time I turn around it�s �Do this!� or �Do that!� or �Hey, I have a question!� or �Help -- someone get the fire extinguisher!�
KillerWorkout: That�s a shame.
Me: Tell me about it. Sophie has had me working on this asinine project all week, and I want to just stuff it down her craw.
KillerWorkout: �unless the project is mashed potatoes, I�m going to advise against that course of action.
Me: Harrumph.
KillerWorkout: �did you just �harrumph�?
Me: Yes, I harrumphed, and I�ll do it again!
KillerWorkout: That won�t be nec�
Me: Harrumph!
KillerWorkout: Thank you.
Me: Okay, how about this: I won�t stuff the project down Sophie�s craw, but in return, I get to kill the new girl.
KillerWorkout: Is she really that annoying?
Me: Hm? Oh, no, she�s just an easy target.
KillerWorkout: That�s hardly sporting.
Me: Oh, bollocks.
KillerWorkout: �did you just�
Me: This office sucks.
KillerWorkout: Yeah, well, at least you have power.
Me: No, not really, I�m just an account representative. I don�t really have all that much clout around here. Well, I guess I have more than�
KillerWorkout: I meant like electricity.
Me: Oh yeah! You guys have that power outage thing! May Day was telling me about that! What�s it like over there?
KillerWorkout: Dark.
Me: Right. You have flashlights and candles and stuff?
KillerWorkout: Mostly we�ve been using flashlights. I�m about to go light some candles in the bathroom, though.
Me: For obvious reasons.
KillerWorkout: Right. Unless, you know, I feel like turning it into an adventure.
Me: Hee! I�ve been to bars like that.
KillerWorkout: It would be like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, only with less iconic imagery and more blind urination.
Me: It will be your last crusade, when Mom finds out.
KillerWorkout: Point taken. She�s such a killjoy.
Me: Well, you�re moving out soon, and you can pee anywhere you want in your own apartment.
KillerWorkout: I�m going to have that saying done in needlepoint and hang it next to the sink.
Me: That sounds like inviting trouble, if you ask me.
KillerWorkout: Harrumph.
Me: I should go -- I have to flip the lights on and off a few times and run the air conditioning.
KillerWorkout: Bastard.
Me: I�ll call you over the weekend or something. I hope the power comes back on.
KillerWorkout: Actually, I�m getting really good at navigating in the dark. Like, I just instinctively know where the furnit�[CRASH!] Oopsy!
Me: Are you okay?
KillerWorkout: Uh, yeah, sure, of course! Ha ha! Why wouldn�t I be? Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey, just out of sheer curiosity and nothing at all more than that, you don�t happen to remember where Dad keeps the superglue?
Me: Not offhand�
KillerWorkout: Okay, gotta go!
Me: Uh, bye.
