on the phone with my best friend...  ' tried to retain instructions to be relayed to her husband:  'tell him to dial <number>...  blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah...'

me:  'ooops...  i should remember that...  wait, i'll call him now...  don't put your phone on silent...  i'll call you after...'

i call the husband...

me:  're the phone...'

best friend's husband:  'oh, it's already ok...  it was fixed earlier...'

oi, goodah!  : )

i didn't have to relay instructions some parts of which i think i've so quickly forgotten...  ; )
