But then: "back in LA next week. I'll call you," and to cover up his relief Rodney fires off a rant on how people who use netspeak have no business criticizing people who, apart from the occasional typo, are paragons of proper spelling and grammar. He hits send and tells himself he is not going to do anything so ridiculous as count days and hours, and also, that he's not going to spend the next seven days, ten hours, and thirty-two minutes grinning like an idiot.
