another friday

yes another friday evening, and im here sitting and looking at time displayed on my screen, almost 5pm it says , in an hour i will be chairing a conference call, an hour from that i would be free , just 2 more hours, damn im sleepy

5:30pm, my table starts vibrating, its a call, numbers unknown to mE
mE : "hello "
girl : " hi, im speaking in refrence from your friend , he told me you were thinking of selling your camera , the D50"
mE : " oh yea, i am thinking of buying D200 and sell my D50 "
girl : " so how much is your demand "
mE : " hmm havent decided really, dont know, never thought about how much i would sell it for "
girl : " so you would ask how much? "
mE : " lets ask how much your willing to give ? "
girl : " oh well i went and saw a D70 second hand in market for 17k so like how about i offer you 15k ?"
mE : "15?"
girl : " yes 15"
mE " err"
silence
girl : "i am doing photography majors, your camera would be used well "
silence
mE : " kinda , i have a 18-200mm lens on it as well, "
girl : " thats nice, so you gona give the lense ? "
mE : " Well , kinda the lens itself is around 18k on its own "
girl : " oh"
silence
mE : " err "
silence again
mE : " i think i would let you know if i decide to sell at that price, lemme think about it "
girl : " oh ok"
mE : " i would not be selling the lens"
girl : " oh ok"
mE : " err , take care then, bye "
girl : "bye"

6:oopm, conference call time, huh ? wait a sec, who the heck took the landline speaker phone from my desk????
6:15pm, "Hi everyone , sorry for joining late, we had some technical difficulties in joining the call " ( someone took the bloody phone and i had to search for 15 mins to find the culprit)

7:00 " Thanks for joining the call, are there any questions at this time ? "
silence
"if no.." , intruption " oh i have a question, will you be joining the shipments status call in half an hour , we need to ask a few questions from you"
mE : " yes sure i would be joining " ( ofcourse i was NOT thinking of running away no i was not )

and now im looking at the time again, it says 9pm, i was supposed to be free an hour ago, darn these firday evenings
