Conversations with Richard

For over three years now, I’ve been racing to my keyboard whenever my boyfriend and I have one of our unusual conversations. I guess I should clarify that they are unusual by most couple’s standards. I’ve always told him that if I ever write a memoir about my dull and uneventful life, these conversations would get at least a chapter. Today turned out to be a blood-pressure raising day, both at home and at work. I won’t even go into why Time Warner Cable headquarters should be picketed, a certain dishwasher repairman should be punched in the face, and how somewhere out there a customer who needs lessons in civility and good manners, ignited my first panic attack. I will mention the conversation I had with my boyfriend after telling him about my day.
