Cafeteria Colloquy

I had lunch with a friend from college today. My friend is very high energy and could probably talk nonstop. She can exhaust me without my having to do anything! I don't have to add much to a conversation since she is very chatty. Here's a list of topics we discussed today (or she talked at me):

• how hectic her job is
• how things are same old same old around here
• items she needs to purchase before she and her husband get a referral (they are adopting)
• Russia
• upcoming primary elections
• some guy she works with that is so democratic he almost lost a finger last year
  
• twins
• M.'s job
• job raises
• her trainee from Egypt
• next week's lunch
