I was on the other side of the room when the phone rang. The paralyzing ring...I stood immobile only my head turned round in the direction of Bell's element of morning torture. I stood immobile... a chill ran down my spine as everything went into a Hitchcock black and white mode...would it be the squeaky voice that had tried to persuade me down the 200 TV channel lane? the sinister gas company "converters"? I 'd already refused to change my air conditioning, and answer any surveys, so "who could it beeee nowww?"
I shyly approached the phone(they weren't giving up) to take a peek at the incoming number, I mean after all they couldn't see me... right?
I picked up... RELIEF - it was a friend in need. She began to speak... (did I say relief?) After three minutes of chat it became clear that "having something sweet would make her feel sooooo much better" and as i tried to find solutions to the topic of our conversation...she pointed out she really wouldn't take that long to get to my place, "after all, these conversations are much more productive in person"... I kinda got the hint...
