Winnie: Hello to you too. How was your day?

James: Tomorrow.

Winnie: For???

James: The conference

Winnie: You decided I’m allowed to go???!!?

James: Check your email

Winnie: Wow! You got me a room and everything! Unless … are we sharing a room?

James: NO

James: You have your own room

James: We are staying in separate rooms

Winnie: Got it. You really, really don’t want to share a room with me. Not surprised, given how you avoided me today.

James: Not avoiding you. Just busy

Winnie : Sure, boss. Sure. Too busy to answer my question. You saw it, right? I wrote it on a chalkboard window, salvaged from your very warehouse.

James: I seem to remember telling you to throw it away

Winnie: That was before you fired me and rehired me. Doesn’t count.

Winnie: Oh! And I caught three cats today with the help of Big Mo. I swear he’s like the Pied Piper of feral cats. That’s almost all of them.

Winnie: The only one I can’t catch is the orange cat with only one eye. He taunts me.

James: Steak, medium rare.

Winnie: WHAT? You want to eat cats?!!?!!?

James: Don’t be ridiculous

James: You asked my favorite ice cream flavor

Winnie: That was HOURS ago! And … your favorite ice cream flavor is steak? That’s about as gross as the idea of cat steaks.

James: You’re disgusting

Winnie: Um, YOU’RE disgusting. You like steak ice cream.

James: I don’t like ice cream. I prefer steak to ice cream.

Winnie: Blasphemy! Do you even have a soul?

James: Outlook not so good. Try again later

Winnie: Magic 8-Ball! Nice!!!

Winnie: *gif of Magic 8-Ball*

James: I like your updates on the site. I have a few tweaks we can go over on the way to Austin tomorrow.

Winnie: Yay! Also, you need to tell me about the conference. What should I be doing? Are we going to the same sessions? Divide and conquer? Any vendors we need to talk about? I looked at the list online the other day and made some notes.

James: Stop texting. Go pack

Winnie: You’re no fun, Mr. Steak Ice Cream.

Winnie: I bet that’s a thing somewhere. I’m going to find it. Now I know what to get you for your next birthday.

James: Please don’t

James: Pack

Winnie: Should I make a road trip playlist?

James: It’s a forty-minute drive

Winnie: A short playlist?

James: NO

Winnie: Ugh. Has anyone told you today that you’re the worst?

James: Several people. GO PACK
