An Actual Conversation
[Scene: She sat down next to me, with her back facing the main computer. I was at work on the laptop at the table behind her.]
"I need help getting this done," she said.
After a few seconds of typing out some code, I looked up. "Okay, where is it?"
Her face was still glued to the other screen. "Over there."
I looked around. "Where?"
"Over there." She didn't even bother to wave an arm.
"Um....."
"Oh, it's over on the chair."
I saw at least six chairs from where I was sitting.
Before I could ask a clarifying question, she added "Oh, I'll go get it in a minute."
