person B: lol. well that's no good. cleaning garages bites. |
person A: I do programming work and I recently had a question I had to run by a co-worker. He is a programming wizard. He easily handled my issue and was using terms and methods I had never even heard of.

person B: That's sad to hear. What's his prognosis?
person A: He's doing about as well as he can be. Very healthy_comma_ but without some new discoveries he will likely have a shortened lifespan.
person B: Hopefully medical technology will catch up to where it needs to be for him. |
person A: I bought some cheap stocks hoping that they would go up in price. They didn't.
person B: Oh no! I used to be a financial advisor so I'm sure that was frustrating. I hope you didn't lose too much money!
person A: Not too much. I only put in what I could afford to lose.
person B: As much as I hate they didn't go up in price for you_comma_ I'm so happy that you didn't overdo it. |
person A: I came home yesterday and my dog had pooped all over the floor. He hasnt done that in ages.
person B: Oh yuck! I'm sorry that that happened. What kind of dog is he? Is he sick?
person A: Thanks. I dont think so. He has seemed fine otherwise. I've watched him on our security cam today and he seems fine. He is a mutt from a local shelter.
person B: Hopefully it was just a bad day for him and he won't do it again! I have a couple rescue mutts as well.
person A: Yeah. I love that goofy animal. Hope he's ok |
person A: I work for a software company. I have been trying to learn a new language for some stuff. I knocked out my first task like a champ.

person A: I saw one_comma_ and he said if I gave him $25_comma_000 he would clear me for flight_comma_ but I don't have that kind of money just lying around. It's a real bummer. Now I just have to do super boring NASA desk work like tracking comets. Lame.
person B: Now that is interesting_comma_ I wish you the best of luck. |
person A: I am obsessive about being ready for anything
