the speed of boredom


Wednesday, August 11, 2004

the fine folks at Bumble & bumble called on monday. apparently they'd overbooked the 12:15 session this thursday and were hoping i could either come a different week or at 2:30. i heard a tone of concern in the woman's voice, so i said rather solidly "hang on let me check my calendar," walking towards an empty space on the wall and running my finger down the vacancy as if there were volumes of text scrawled across it. "huh...2:30...thursday the twelfth, right?"
a cautious "y-yes, sir..."
"hmm...yeah, i can do that."
"oh, you can?!" sounding as if three albatross had just been released from the ropes around her neck.
"i need to be there fifteen minutes prior, though, correct?"
"oh, yes sir, 2:15"
"ok, i'll be there"
"thank you so much!"

i don't know if they teach these people to make it sound so vitally important or if i just totally had fun with it...but i totally had fun with it.
