It's early evening and still light out. I find myself in the same cafe that offered solace yesterday. As it gets darker I notice that I've managed to snag a seat at the only table which has a burnt-out light bulb hanging overhead. every other table that is located near an outlet is taken, and its pretty full.

Insecure Assistant: What meeting?
Me: the one between...[insert names].
Beyotch (I.A.) : When was it?
Me: That's why I'm calling. To check if it happened - would have been within the last couple weeks.
Beyotch: I need a date. Maybe you should check your information and call back when you're ready.
Me: No. That's why I'm calling - to find out which date it was, if it's already taken place.
Beyotch: Well, I don't know.
Me: Well can you -
Beyotch: 'Bye.
Click.
So..can you ask your boss, you incompetent moron? Have some class, beyotch.
It's a teeny tiny town, and karma does not forget.
