I haven’t gotten a call yet, and I was expecting one 24 minutes ago. WHAT IF IT’S BAD NEWS?!
No. I need to stay positive.
BUT WHAT IF IT’S BAD NEWS?
No, no, there are laboratories, and people, and phone calls before mine that could take longer.
BUT WHAT IF THEY ARE DELAYING THE INEVITABLE?!
They call in order that the results come in, and they are busy. That room was full of other people, and that’s just one of many offices in the area that needs to process information. So multiply the number of people you saw by 10.
BUT WHAT IF THE SAMPLE WAS LOST?
They don’t lose samples, do they? Wait, is that a thing that happens?
SURE, HUMANS ARE FALLIBLE. MACHINES ARE FALLIBLE, BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE BY HUMANS.
I could just call if I don’t hear back eventually.
YES DO THAT.
And eat a small chocolate while I wait. And have some warm water. With a lemon.
OKAY.
And lentil soup. Lentil soup is good for you.
FINE. WHATEVER.
I love lentil soup.
TAKE THE PHONE WITH YOU.
I’m just going over here.
WHAT IF YOU DON’T HEAR THE PHONE RING?!
I’ll take the phone.
GOOD.
I finished the lentil soup. It was delicious. I squeezed some of that lemon I cut for the warm water into the soup.
OKAY.
It made the lentil soup even tastier, if you can believe it.
OF COURSE I CAN BELIEVE IT. IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE DONE THIS.
Yeah but it just delights me every time.
WHERE DID YOU PUT THE PHONE?
