No. I said I don't want to KEEP HEARING ABOUT IT.

These is what I care to hear about:
  • things that have a conclusion (or work towards one)
  • things that can be translated to an action item
  • things that add new information to a subject

Here is what I NEVER want to hear about:
  • reiterations of the same thing, with no specific purpose
  • speculation about something which is based on un-knowable factors
  • repeated, identical descriptions of any un-knowable something

Here's how I would handle this. Walk in there and go, "Oh, here's that fabric I was looking for." and take it home. What's she going to say? There's no way to know until that moment comes; and honestly, who cares? Mind you, I'm taking your word on all of this, but if it's your damn fabric, I pick it up and take it home. What's she going to do, tackle me at the door?
