He's Just Not That Into Me

So you'd think being self-employed would come with all kinds of freedom, and generally it does. Today, however, I'm imprisoned in my own home while I wait for a source to call me, which he promised he would "in the next day or so." I took my lunch break at noon Central Standard Time so we'd be on the same schedule, and I'd like to take a shower and walk the dog but I really don't want to miss this call. This is a bit like dating, no?
