The Sometime Assistant's personal cell phone rings (this is on company time, after all);
"Hi Honey! What's up? (brief pause) Oh no!!
When? Oh, you've got to be kidding! Oh dear!!
Ohhhhh Nooooooo!!!!!!"
You're faithful correspondent, concerned, looks up, hoping to convey said consternation with raised eyebrows. S.A doesn't look up from what she's doing.
"Well, that's terrible, it's awful!! I am soooo sorry, honey."
More concern, to the point of thinking about maybe even asking what the heck's going on.
"Was it the same ones who did your toes?"
Concern dissipates exponentially. Back to today's Times crossword puzzle.
