person A: it's annoying isn't it? You're expecting a check or something else to be delivered to you based on what you were told and yet it looks like that schedule won't be adhered to. That's where I was a few weeks ago.
person B: Yes that is annoying! How long did you have to wait?
person A: the darned thing arrived while i was out of town. 
person B: Wow_comma_ thats no fun at all. I guess you could look at it as money saved.
person A: glass half full. i like it!
person B: Thanks! LOL
