Hey, I just talked to Jim.
What did he say?
He said he had to cancel the meeting this afternoon.
Oh, I see.
Is there a problem?
No, It's not a big deal. He and I were supposed to talk to some new customers today.
Sorry to hear that.
It's OK. This has been happening quite a bit recently.
That's strange. I wonder why?
His wife has been sick, so sometimes he has to go home early to take care of her.
I see. How's work been going?
Things are slow right now. Would you mind if I borrow your phone, mine's out of batteries and I have to call my boss to tell him about this.
OK, let me go get it. Its in the car.
