i hate waiting by the phone, for a call that never comes.
worst. feeling. ever.

so driven was i, by equal parts frustration and desperation that i picked up the phone and called my best friend 7 hours and 6740.23 miles/10847.05 kilometers away, for a quick consultation (serious decoding required!).

the funny thing is - eye-rolling-dry-laughter-type-funny - i've said that particular line so many times before in my life that even he and i can sense the irony and laugh about it. 

oh jacky, what would i do without you?
