I know how it goes, never a dull moment.

We are good partners on assignment that is certain, just not a lot of personal comradery, I would say. With only the two of us we need to stay focused, so we don't dally in distractions. That said, we do work well together, in sync and it's intuitive, but like I mentioned, not very close other than that. I have yet to make her laugh anyway. Then I know I'm in. Perhaps I should work on that, this is really starting to wear on me, I can imagine it's doing the same to her.

That is scary, it's hard to deal with the unknowns sometimes. I'm glad you made it out alright. Can't say I blame you on the water thing. I would have had the same reaction. I suppose you could always try for another department, if it came down to it, but you have always struck me as the kind to persevere.

Good luck!
