1/2

A friend texted if I have a regular laptop shop in the next town.
The next town is 50 km away and smaller than ours.
Why would I be a regular there?
Why would I be a regular at a computer store at all?
It's not a coffee shop. I don't have a punch card. There's no loyalty discount for buying one laptop a decade.

I gave him the name of a shop anyway.
"So you go there a lot?"
"No, but it's a branch of the shop I visit occasionally in our town."
"Oh okay, thanks."

Silence.

Then: "Hey, do you know a good laptop for my daughter? She's going into linguistics."
I said: "I'm not a shaman. To give you an answer, please list the software she'll use. I'll wait."

He didn't know. So he called. I didn't pick up. He texted: "Please be patient." A week later, he hasn't replied.

Who's not patient?
Me? Waiting for a list.
Him? Waiting for me to read his mind.
Maybe linguistics doesn't use software.
Maybe patience is the software.
