the past 10 minutes.


phone rings
i recognize the number as a recording and hang up
ding
ding
ding
door opens and closes, let's go home, tell them i said it was okay - i say okay, no problem.
he goes down a hallway.
birds singing outside
door opens
guy comes downstairs, whistles, goes outside and leaves
guy walking around building
you too - lady comes down stairs, unwrapping something, eats candy goes outside,probably leaving, too.
door opens, co-worker walks through lobby, head down
phone rings, i answer call, transfer call
colleague comes out to talk about tie Tuesdays, they wear ties, they go out for Thai - tomorrow there is a plan to go to yummy Asian place, we decide we are best friends (like when you are kids) because we both like the spicy fish and eggplant with garlic - i recommend the black and white mushrooms with bok choy, ask her for a recommendation, she says she always goes with the guy so she lets him order - yeah, he knows what's good, i make up a pretend name in Chinese for black and white mushrooms with bok choy - pungchoiheyshiaoshr - she thinks I speak Chinese and is impressed. I almost let her believe it's true i go to my desk and decide to type what just happened in the past 10 minutes.
