Waiting for the phone to Ring

Soooo....Since the end of November, Ken has been waiting for a phone call to start work on a particular project up north.  He has now passed up three other jobs, 2 from one employer, and another one from a place very close to home.  These guys he is waiting for had better come through and make it worthwhile after all this waiting.  I swear the atmopshere around this place has been like a twilight zone of perpetual adolesence, waiting for the phone to ring.  Willing it to ring. The only thing missing from the picture are pimples and a diary with a key.
