That, and he's got issues with voice modulation.

Listening to: Sister Winter by Sufjan Stevens

So, I work with this partner in our other office occasionally. Very nice guy. He calls to get updates on the case every day. Nice.

However, I've got a strange issue with him. We'll talk, he'll ask questions, I'll give answers, whatever. Then, I've answered his question, and I think we're done talking. But there's been no signal that the conversation's over. So, we just kind of sit there. I mean, seriously, no one says anything for about a minute. After the awkward silence is just too much to bear, I break down and say "uh, so, is there anything else I can update you on?", to which he'll reply "oh, no, I'm good."

It's v. awkward.

I think, next time, I'm going to wait him out. I will win. Oh yes, I will win.
