5:59 PM me: I think I
  have saved the chapter
  it was getting too dulled up with me haranguing everyone about the
  Russiaans
6:00 PM but now I have thrown in a bunch of amusing nonsense to break it up a bit

5 minutes
6:05 PM Catalina: do you let people read your work before its published?
6:07 PM me: yeah, I don't care
  also helps to watch people read it and see what works regarding humor

5 minutes
6:13 PM Catalina: sorry, i accidentally closed out when i was panicking. I couldn't find my tights. I thought maybe my office mate snuck in and stole them.
  they were in my desk drawer
6:14 PM me: what a strange thing to suspect
 Catalina: well i could have sworn i left them on my chair
  shes a very strange girl
  so am i
6:15 PM anyway,
  id very much like to read your chapter
  ill have plenty of time when im drinking margqaritas poolside in florida
6:16 PM me: okay, I'll send it to you after I've finished moving everything around in a couple hours
6:19 PM so at this office you work at do people constantly come by and steal your underwear and sexually harass you and trick you into going out with them for five years and stuff like that?
6:20 PM it kind of sounds like you're being used for some sort of experiment without realizing it
  they're trying to drive you into sexual neuroses and then observe your reaction
6:21 PM Catalina: umm
  no
  would be more interesting though
  and it wasnt my underwear
  just my tights
  maybe she wanted me to be cold outside
 me: lol wut
6:22 PM Catalina: whats "wut" mean?
 me: do you have some sort of conflict going on with this female co-worker?
 Catalina: i dont really.. actually ive stolen from her
  so i guess im the bad one
6:23 PM but she tempts me
 me: I see
 Catalina: shes this really wealthy messed up jewish girl
  and she leaves her expensive bags open on our office floor
  with a bunch of pill bottles
  id never steal money
6:24 PM me: very well
  I'd also take the pills
  other people don't seem to enjoy them sufficiently
 Catalina: yeah shes got everything
  exactly
 me: they don't really appreciate them
 Catalina: she has amphetamines (which i dont need anymore since i started going to her psychiatrist)
6:25 PM benzos
  ambien
  and other stuff im not interested in, like anidepressants
6:27 PM when she actually comes into work she looks like shes going to a club, tight black clothing and heavy make up
  its kind of funny
 me: she sounds like a wonderful girl
  I'm going to buy some vodka
6:28 PM Andy actually left the house
 Catalina: sounds lovely
  for good?
 me: no
  lol no
  he would die
6:29 PM Catalina: well enjoy your vodka
  im going home
 me: very well
  enjoy your home
