I use a program that logs all my AIM chats.. So, luckily, I have some conversations with Mike stored.. If others do this, it's a pretty cool way to reflect; noone ever tape records conversations with friends, but this is pretty close.. here are a few items from our IMs that I thought were fun and worth sharing (note: this is just from my laptop, I'll do the rest on my desktop when I get back to work)..
I also need to find my ones from when we hired Mike. I remember that GM just came up and they were going to need an on-site TAM, either Chi or Detroit. I started IMing with Mike and he was *this* close to taking a job in ad ops with weather.com, but we moved quick and got him to come work for us..

Mike also gave funniest birthday cards. Once, he wrote a 'memo' on the back, exactly in the style of our horrendously evil boss (at the time). I need to scan it and post it - it's fucking hilarious. Mike, wherever you are, please find a way to still send me birthday cards, okay?!?!?
