jb and The Brain, Act II

just bob (jb): What possessed you to think this was a good idea?
The Brain: It was all very logical and responsible
jb: And you were wrong this time weren't you?
The Brain: Nope
jb: Would you like to reconsider that?
The Brain: Nope
jb: Can I tell you what I think?
The Brain: Sure, go ahead. But don't expect me to change my mind
jb: Going on vacation until Tuesday, then turning around to leave for a conference on Thursday was stupid
The Brain: That's pretty harsh
jb: Were you actually lucid when you cooked up this idea?
The Brain: Yes, no alcohol and no Fog
jb: Shall I continue?
The Brain: Keep going, I know you're not finished
jb: Traveling is a pain in the ass, the airport is a mess, and I'm so tired right now I could pass out
The Brain: Anything else?
jb: Yeah, you've got to start running some of these ideas by me. I do have some good ideas too
The Brain: Of course you do. My turn?
jb: Yes, I'd love to hear this logic
The Brain: The two days between coming and going gave you some time to unpack and repack.
jb: That's it?
The Brain: Easy... it also allowed you to clear out all the work emails and phone calls before leaving again.
jb: So this was a work decision, not a personal decision.
The Brain: Yes it was
jb: Well it can't always be about work
The Brain: I see that now
jb: We kind of depend on each other and I need you to think about me once and a while
The Brain: You're right, I'm sorry
jb: Thanks for hearing me and listening
The Brain: You've got it
jb: Now are you going to work on those resumes and cover letters to get us both out of here?
The Brain: Right after both of us take a nap. I'm as tired as you are.
jb: Now you're thinking!

I have those conversations ALL the time. My brain doesn't always talk back though; she's a little stubborn and doesn't like to be wrong. I, however, tend to be wrong a lot so I’ve had to learn to be humble. Naps? One of the few things Brain and QB agree on.

Make yourself look good and get the hell outta there!

Kylie, always the voice of reason.

Like all the rest, good luck with all that crap. Added stress, but hopefully you'll get the job you want in the end.

Too fun to read!

Yah. Travel lag is a bitch. Especially when vacation is followed closely by something that requires finesse and effort.

Good luck with it!!
