Oh, the places you'll go, Thad

I am not making up the following phone conversation nor do I feel I need to exaggerate it for comic effect. See what you think. The salon name has been changed to protect its identity and because "X" is a cool name for any establishment. X marks the spot. X = kiss. X = signature. See? Multi-cool. Use it, with my blessings. Now on to our story...

This took place on Saturday.

Thad: Hi, X Salon. Thad speaking.

Me: Hi, this is L. A. Cochran. I got a voice-mail message confirming a hair appointment.

Thad: Yeah, that was probably from me. I did a bunch of those earlier.

Me: Um, yeah. Your message said the appointment was tomorrow at five. I can come tomorrow but I thought the appointment was for Tuesday.

Thad: Oh, yeah. See, I was eating lunch and I did a bunch of those calls. I probably told everybody that it was tomorrow.

Me: ...

Thad: I'm used to telling people that their appointment is tomorrow but I forgot it was Saturday and I was looking ahead to next week. See, I was eating lunch.

Me: ...

Thad: I guess I should call everybody back. I probably told everybody that.

Me: ...

Thad: Thanks for calling back.

Me: So my appointment is Tuesday?

Thad: Oh, yeah, it's Tuesday. ...Now, I guess I have to call everybody back.

Me: Um, yeah. Thanks for the confirmation.
