Patience Is a Virtue

Remember about that phone call I made that I should have had an answer in less than five minutes.  That was Tuesday morning.  Finally yesterday afternoon I received the call back, and sure enough, the matter was settled in less than five minutes.  On Wednesday when I didn't get the answer, I was a little annoyed. Then on Thursday when I still hadn't heard from her, I thought about just assuming she would tell me to shred the file and I would just go ahead and do it.  But then I realized that it wouldn't hurt to wait a while longer and I just pushed it to the back of my mind and forgot about it.  When the call came on Friday, I didn't say anything about how long I waited.  I just asked the question, got the answer (shred the papers), and thanked her.  Now the papers are shredded and the episode is almost entirely forgotten.  (Until I may have to make another phone all and wait for an answer. Then I may remember.)
