3:39 PM me: nice!

 Michael: aha!

  wow

  this is like old school IM

 me: it's pretty good.

  dude, like every young professional uses it

3:40 PM Michael: haha

  god damn it

 me: so they can talk with all of their young professional friends

 Michael: why dont the young professionals keep me updated!?

 me: i dont know. i really only found out about it a few months ago.

3:41 PM Michael: well, it's another distraction

  which i am always open to

 me: ha. well...i figured

 Michael: sooo...

  mr young professional

  are you a higher paid young professional now?

 me: a little bit yes

 Michael: yes!

 me: with a weekly incentive plan

 Michael: woah

  i dont even know what that is

  sounds fantastic though

3:42 PM as someone who lives a life without any incentives

 me: i'll be given a goal at the beginning of every week

  and if i make it, i get $100

 Michael: sweet!

 me: well, if i make it, of course.

 Michael: that's awesome

  at least it is something

  shake things up

3:43 PM its important to feel like you are working towards something

 me: yeah, definitely.

  i think i might make this week's goal

 Michael: pretty demoralizing when you are positive your work makes no impact on anything and doing it very well or very poorly makes no difference

  sweet dude

  well i have that gps on the site

  and its a piece of shit

 me: oh yeah?

3:44 PM Michael: so, i dont know how that factors in

  but it sucks

 me: well--someone's gonna buy it

 Michael: yeah

  i mean

  i did

 me: i actually need to ask you a question

  can you talk on the phone for a second?

 Michael: sure
