How I Get My Work Day Started

With really, really, deep conversation.

This particular IM conversation started at about 8:10 am.

Rhobie is my co-worker in New York State.

Enjoy!



Matthew: i hate it when I buy a can of mixed nuts


Matthew: and they're mostly peanuts


Rhobie: you and I would be a good pair


Rhobie: I like the peanuts


Rhobie: and hate the rest


Rhobie: hate mixed nuts


Matthew: really???


Rhobie: yes


Matthew: I love the cashews


Matthew: and almonds


Rhobie: oh I like almonds


Rhobie: they are ok


Matthew: I LOVE them


Rhobie: I prefer to dip them in peanut butter though


Rhobie: i do not like cashews unless they are covered in chocolate


Matthew: REALLY???


Matthew: I am amazed by that statement


Rhobie: yes


Rhobie: really


Matthew: what about the brazil nut?


Rhobie: i guess they are ok


Rhobie: I kinda like those


Matthew: I love the texture of those


Rhobie: yes I know exactly what you mean


Matthew: the hazelnuts I could do without


Rhobie: oh I like those


Rhobie: what else is in there


Matthew: omg


Matthew: so really


Matthew: you like everything but cashews


Rhobie: yeah...


Rhobie: I guess


Rhobie: I will avoid cashews at all costs in a mixed nut container


Rhobie: the others I will eat


Rhobie: reluctantly


Rhobie: except for peanuts and almonds


Rhobie: but also - I dont like salt on my nuts


Rhobie: except for on the peanuts


Matthew: really


Matthew: no salt at all?


Matthew: I get the "lightly salted" ones


Matthew: I can't do the overly salted ones


Matthew: they're way too salty


Rhobie: that might be ok....although I really don't like salt on the other nuts


Matthew: well


Matthew: this has been great


Matthew: oh


Matthew: do you like the pecans


Rhobie: only candied in a salad


Matthew: I love nuts in salad


Rhobie: ME TOO


Rhobie: I think that's where they belong


Matthew: in brownies?


Rhobie: yes


Rhobie: love


Rhobie: but tom hates


Matthew: period or just in brownies?


Rhobie: he hates them in brownies and breads and cookies


It's like a brain trust, wouldn't you say?
