What are you still doing here, Lauren?

Aren't you supposed to be at the trade show in Chicago?

I am!

I had to cancel the trip last minute,

as several of the key speakers came down with the flu.

They rescheduled the event to the same time next month.

How annoying to have to rearrange your appointments.

I know it already took a lot of planning for you to be able to take off this week.

Yeah, I was very disappointed when I found out.

I'm not going to be able to go next month,

it is just too close to the holidays, which is the busiest time of year for accounting.

I understand.

Hopefully, a similar show will be on in the new year!
