Watching the Phone Not Ring

Here I sit, at a desk in Costa Rica, waiting for the phone to ring so I can get on with my life. My life at this point mostly involves playing poker and shopping for vegetables. The phone call in question is from PokerStars, or it will be once they get around to making it.

They sent me an email asking what time was good for a call. I gave them a 17-hour window. Perhaps that was too generous? I wonder if they would have called by now had I offered a narrower time frame which expired sooner. Still, if they do get back to me today, that would be faster than expected. I only submitted my relocation documents yesterday.

As I sit here, the phone rings and I jump. It’s just a promotional text from kölbi. No Stars call yet. I feel like such a teenager.
