Sam: So do you have any plans this weekend?
Coworker: Well, we're going to do some training for Climb For The Cure.
Sam: Oh, like rock-climbing?
Coworker: No, you climb stairs. This one is 95 flights.
Sam: ...seriously?
Coworker: I know. It's like a nightmare.
Sam: So...when you train. Do you, do you go to a building somewhere, and at least climb to somewhere interesting?
Coworker: No, we go to this nature preserve that has a lot of stairs up to the top of a hill and we climb there. At this point we have to do five or six trips up and down.
Sam: That's...dedication.
Coworker: Well, I don't want to die in a stairwell.
Sam: You are more hardcore than I will ever be.

Because the truth is, I hate stairs. You guys know what I would do for the cure? I would take an elevator to the top of the building for the cure, and then I would hand out snacks to other people for the cure. Being fair to me, I don't even care what we're curing, but the limit of my dedication to any cure is a) giving money and b) handing out snacks.

HAHAHA Awkward Coworker and I just spent a good five minutes trying to explain the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars to one of our mutual coworkers, who has never seen either one. I know I'm a huge nerd, but I don't even particularly enjoy Star Wars and I've still seen it.

Coworker: Which is the one that has the guy who makes the animal noises?
Sam: Um....
Awkward Coworker: What's he look like?
Coworker: A big dog.
Sam: Can you make the noise?
Coworker: I've only ever seen it in a youtube clip!
Awkward Coworker: That's okay, Sam's just trying to get you to make a silly noise.
Sam: I kind of am.
Awkward Coworker: We know these things.
Coworker: He has an ammo belt.
Awkward Coworker: Chewbacca!
Sam: Okay, we need to walk away now, because any nerdier and I'm going to have to get my action figures out.
Awkward Coworker: He doesn't really have action figures.
Sam: I'm pretty sure I have one in my bag at this minute. I know I have a Captain America pez dispenser in there.

I totally have an Iron Man action figure in my bag AND Travelin' Jack Harkness. Well, it pays to be prepared.
