An actual exchange between Ann and I:

Ann: I got an email from Shenanarts. They’re doing Seussical.

Me: (trying to remember) Didn’t we vow to never work there again?

A: Yeah. But… it’s June 7th. we could get some extra money for the trip to Europe.

O: I’m doing Kiss Me Kate the end of May. When is their tech?

A: The following week. Oh I’m lighting that dance recital then.

O: Since I’m in tech the end of May, you couldn’t just design it early.

A: I guess we’re keeping our vow.
