A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk

I just had lunch with r_ness. We sat outside at the Garden Cafe and talked about life and transit and the coolness of Montreal, and traveling. He came back here long enough to meet julian_tiger and buy my leftover Hong Kong dollars, but not long enough for the kettle to boil and him to drink a cup of tea. Instead, just as it whistled, he headed off to the bus stop, and thence to Fordham and a New Haven train.

Patterns

In the course of one of our morning conversations, papersky pointed out to me that all of my partners tend to work too hard. She suggested that two might be coincidence, but three suggests that there's something I'm looking for, or that this correlates with something I'm looking for. Alternatively, there may be something in me that attracts people who also tend to work too hard.

Just now, on the phone with cattitude, I said "I don't mind having three partners who overwork yourselves, as long as you're overworking yourselves with the right things." He agreed, saying that if you're going to do that, you should like the work.

Fortunately, none of the three seem to think that I need to work harder--if anything, they're better at reminding me not to overexert myself than I am at reminding myself.
