‘I’ve a new job. Well almost.’
‘Great. As what?’
‘I haven’t got it yet. But I had a test. Depends if I pass.’
‘As what?’
‘I might not want it, you know it might not suit me.’
‘Morgan, what’s the new job?’
‘It depends on the result…’
‘You said. What…?
‘I’m going to wait.’
‘Of course you are.’
‘You knew?’
‘Knew?’
‘Knew what?’
‘About the waiting?’
‘Well, I know you’re impatient but surely even you will want to know if you’ve passed.’
‘No, I’ll be waiting…’
‘… yes, and then, when you get it?’
‘I’ll still be waiting…’
‘?’

Very good!

Ha, ha! I have a hunch understanding will have to wait until service and tables and tabs are involved. Fun flash, Geoff!
