Episode #1: The Phone Call That Started It All

08 December 2009

It was not long ago that I found myself working into oblivion.  I was desperately trying to get clients in… but it was just like an exercise in futility.

The economy was in a downturn… and everything seemed bleak and murky – like the cup of cold coffee that I kept stirring on my table.

Little did I know that my life was about to change at that moment…  Another working of the Powers that be?

(The phone rang.)

ME:        Hello?

HER:       Good afternoon.  I’d like to speak to Peter.

ME:        Speaking!  ( Uuy! Sana customer!)

HER:       My name is Vivien – and your boss told me to talk to you about your club meeting.  I need some details.

ME:        Oh – okay.  (Shucks… istorbo!)

I was met by a barrage of questions… and I could hardly answer properly.  I was trying real hard to NOT sound exasperated – or annoyed!

The questions kept coming.  I barely managed to give my answers – most of which were fabricated, by the way.

I tried to keep that annoying little voice at bay.  (Hrmph…  ‘Little?’  Mali yata!)
