Ok, this is following Mouse's Abbott & Costello post, which I thought was such a wonderful, light-hearted idea in creating the fantasy of what we want out of our Ts. I would love read T mine, but I don't know that I would have the courage. Thank you Mouse, for the idea and the laugh... I think we could all use a laugh!! Anyway, here it goes:
T: Hello. What's been going on this week?
Me: Nothing.
T: Alright... What would you like to talk about?
Me: You pick the topic.
T: Great idea! Let's talk about the formation of primitive defense mechanisms.
Me: Yes, let's...
(We proceed with an in depth discussion about defense mechanisms, which lasts for about 10 minutes. He is obviously impressed with my knowledge of the topic, and comments on the new insight I have provided him with).
Me: OK, I'm tired of this. Let's talk about me.
T: Last week we ended the session with the discussion of having to reduce our sessions to once per week. You seemed really upset about this, and frankly, I'm probably more upset than you.
Me: Really?
T: What's the point of coming to work if I can't see you more than once per week?
Me: What should we do about it?
(hahahaha, this is seriously getting so pathetic, and I'm sitting here at my desk, cracking myself up)
T: I will terminate a few clients so that you can have your pick of which slots you'd like to take.
Me: Sounds great. Could you bring in a couple books for me to borrow next session?
T: Of course.
Me: See you in a couple days.
T: Indeed. Nice shoes, by the way.
Me: Thanks.
