Yes, I understand that you want to know when you can see the exhibitors. That's why I told you in our first conversation when the exhibit hall is open. The EXHIBIT hall is where the EXHIBITors are.

You don't have to give me your complete identification, your company name, your location, and a complete history of your relationship with the association. Just ask for the information you need and let me answer the three other people who are calling (probably with the same question).

The conference starts tomorrow. No, you can't get a refund. You couldn't have gotten a refund if you'd called yesterday. Or the day before. If you didn't want to come to the conference, why did you register and pay?

No, we're not having a conference for 1,500 people in our office. That's why we have the name of the conference center, driving directions, and floor plans of the center in the brochure you're waving at me.

Could someone just hook me up with the Rich Guys Who Are into Overweight Smart Blondes and Want to Take Care of Them for Life Network? I am SOOO ready to become a Kept Woman. Srsly.

We should line you up a choice selection, Epic. (And then I'll take one of the left-overs who isn't choosy about hair color.)

I'm unparticular as to the gender of my rich person.

So you'll all go ahead and take my word for it and make with the virtual love and strong liquor, si?
