A LITTLE TEXTING EXCHANGE I HAD WITH PATTIE TODAY.

*Mistress, I know I’m supposed to be over tonight at 8 but Rick and Dennis want to discuss the account I’m handing over. 

*What does this have to do with you being over at 8?

*Well they want to go to Bailys.   It’s a sports bar.

*Yes, I’ve been there Pattie.  Once again, what does this have to do with you being here at 8?

*Well, I get off at 5, and it takes 45 minutes to drive out to the Ranch.

*Pattie dear, is this a guessing game?  WHY. IS. THIS. PREVENTING. YOU. FROM. BEING. ON. TIME!

*Well we might be at Bailys for a while, and it might take longer.  Would you mind if I showed up a 9?

*Not at all sweetie, as long as you don’t mind the things I’m going to do, for being an hour late.

*Things?

*Oh don’t worry your little head about it darling.  They’re just unimportant details, like being on time.

*I’ll be there at 8 Mistress.

*That’s very wise Pattie.

*Thank you Mistress.

*Have a great day at work dear.

*Yes Ma’am.
