will be handed back to us

and they're gonna want changes again

and then the things they just asked for

in the previous round,

they're gonna ask to change,

they're gonna ask for new

things and we're gonna address

those changes and then

they're probably gonna say

that they don't like that either and...

Like, I don't...

I don't know, I just feel like...

Every time that this happens,

there's a new reason why

it has to be pushed longer

and it's like really not,

I don't know, I feel like

you can never give me

like an actual answer of how

long your trips are gonna be.

- It's not excuses, it's just what it is.

I can't change that.

I should probably go.

Look, I'll, it's not

like I just walk up to him

and be like, hey, my wife wants to know

when I'm coming home.

Can you give me a sense of when

you're gonna approve our plans?

- I mean, that would be great.

- Yeah.

Then I'd have to look for a new job.

I should go.

I'm already running late.

But I'll Skype you later, okay?
