Do You Like What You Do?

I met this guy this morning and he says to me, "You like what you do!"
"I do," was my response. (I says to him).
"That's great, it's great to meet someone who likes what they do."
"Well, thanks..."
"I mean, it reminds me that I could like what I do, I mean, your's is a good message."
"OK."
"You said, a few times, 'I get to do this,' that's great, because I'm always thinking, 'I have to do this,' but you've reminded me that it's really that I 'get to do it' more than 'I have to do it.' I need to remember that."
"Well, good..."
"Yeah it is, it's great, thank you...thank you for reminding me, your outlook is really healthy."
"You're welcome."
He glanced at his wife, asking, "Don't you think?" and she replied, "Yes, I do, I think it is healthy, it's what we've been talking about."
So, I said, "Well, I like my wife, so it's great that we get to work together, too."
They both laughed, and he said, "Well, I like my wife, too." He glanced in her direction and she looked up and they smiled at each other. He looked back at me, "Thank you," he added, "It's been great to meet you," and I responded, "Thank you, it's been great to meet both of you, too."
They wished me a great day, "Have a great day," and I said, "You're making that a possibility."
These things happen, I swear. I'm not making this stuff up.
