Expecting

CP: CP's Draught Kings, How may I help you?

PT: Do you have any 12-hour Sudafed products?

CP: We do not. 

PT: Generic Claritin-D 12hr?

CP: They are on backorder; have been for over a month now. I can offer you some of the 4-hr as a consolation.

PT: Can I get a box of those?

CP: Sure thing.

PT: When do you expect to get more?

CP: I expect them tomorrow.

PT: Really?

CP: Yes. I expect them every day, only to be crushed anew by the lack of supply in the day's order. Like Penelope, I expect every day will bring that which has been lost to me. I fear 12-hr pseudoephedrine products will return in the same timeline as Odysseus. 

PT: I'm not up on my mythology. 

CP: Well you can read all about it in the time you spend waiting for 12-hour pseudoephedrine products to return to my shelves.
