Because SarahT and I can multitask so well, we like to do some mental gymnastics at work by taking on as many projects as we can at the same time.

We also enjoy discussing things as if we live millions of miles away from each other, although, she only works across the office from me. So in light of that we use our e-mail as our own personal IM system.

Today, was one of many days in particular in which we had an intriguing conversation while interviewing contacts, writing stories, blog researching and just overall working, like we're supposed to.

Here, for the benefit of all those people who don't think we have extremely important decisions to make everyday, is a sample of our e-mails:

thank you lovey. yes i hate the fact that to go to the bano i have to get up and walk all the way around everyone else's desks instead of just turning around and walking straight to the door. So close, yet so far!

maybe to make you guys feel more specialer while we're getting all new desks and carpet and stuff, they should build a little door next to perv's corner so you can go through there when you need to piddle :-) I'll suggest it for you.

I hate when I have a brain fart and I can't think of anything interesting to write on my blog. Sarah we need to get into more trouble so I can write more funny stories about us.

well did you write about the to-sugar or not-to-sugar dilemma? i mean, perhaps nobody else will find that interesting, but those who know and love us will be convinced once again that we are idiots when they read it

It's really funny, Sarah, as I was writing that last e-mail I was thinking about what crap we got up to today and I was like, duh, the chocolate. We're like peas and carrots girl, peas and fricken carrots (i get to be the carrot!)
