WEDNESDAY 7:55a.m.
Me: I have another meeting with him today. Haaalp!
C’mon, you do so much planning with Marge In Charge.
Nicole: Is that why you’re dressed like her today?
Can you think of a list of things he loves/hates?
Topics to avoid?
I already told you there’s not much. He hates being late, if meetings run late or start late, etc.
He hates video conferencing, ice in his drink, the subway.
The man is a vault.
Does he actually LIKE anything?
He seems to like rain. And snow.
OF COURSE HE LIKES RAIN AND SNOW.
I hate my life.
Babe, maybe you should skip this trip.
What?! It’s Europe!
Yes, but it’s Europe *for work*
Plan this trip, but for fun instead.
And go without the Snow King.
And admit defeat?
Never!
I’m going on this trip.
And I’m going with my soon-to-be friend.
