the piano is gone :-(

2008.07.09 23.36

My phone rang around noon yesterday. I recognized the number. I answered.

Me: (spoken quickly) ''Thisismarkshields.''
Constance: ''Mark, this is Constance from the leasing office.''
Me: ''Hi!''
Constance: ''They're here.''
Me: ''The new iPhones are here???''
Constance: [long pause] ''No.''
Me: ''No, wait, ABBA is here? Holy sh*t!''
Constance: ''Mark, the people who own the piano have movers here.''
Me: ''Oh. Well. I, uh, I'm at work.''

This is a half-truth. I was working from home.

Constance: ''That's okay. I have a key. I can let them in.''
Me: ''Okay, okay. I'm actually here. Um, would you believe I sold the piano on eBay?''
Constance: ''Not really.''
Me: ''Fine. I'll have it waiting in the hallway.''
Constance: ''Thanks!''
