Great Sympathizer

Jen and I started our jobs 3 weeks apart.  (Young Bo' joined us a year after.)  She has seen all the same personalities I have, googled the same Excel tricks, and we went on to the same school afterward (though a year apart).  That's not why Jen is awesome.  (She is meticulous, quiet funny, deprecating funny, 'gets it' completely, efficient, generous, a good eater, etc.)  But it is awesome for me that when I wake up from a disturbing dream involving Whitecastle's daughter's birthday party, even now, years after we've hung up our research assistant hats (ok, still sort of wearing it), she's understands the terror.

Moi: It wasn't that the party was stressful, but he was just so chill and friendly and I think he was growing a short ponytail-

Jen: Who are you and what have you done with Whitecastle!?

Moi: Exactly!  That was what made it stressful for everyone.
