Hi,
Today has been a 'waiting' day. For all my friends who are curious, it just means is 'waiting for the customer's time'. We had to make a project presentation to a Customer at a specific time, and other engagements dragged on & on.. So we prepare, rehearse, redraft, rechange, prepare & wait wait wait. And the men in the conference room talk talk talk.
At the end of the day, the result might be that the Customer is very tired & he'll see our presentation through mail. Oh! how cheated we feel!
I'm always curiuos as to what happens inside these Conference rooms? Do they plot some sinister things, write a movie story or just joke & generally have a good time?
Same kind of curiosity comes up in many other scenes in one's mundane life

a) a bank teller keeps writing/typing things before giving a DD
b) conductor keeps writing numbers
c) the person at billing counter keeps talking over the phone
d) the airline staff does 101 things before she gives you the boarding pass ...& so on

What do they all do? Think about it while I wait..wait..wait
