yes.
Alan Thompson (asker) Dec 5, 2005:
Hi Yolanda, I'm afraid this is out of context so I can't give any, but your suggestions are very helpful. Would I be right in saying that this could mean "I'll hang around there until he comes"?
yolanda Speece Dec 5, 2005:
Do you have any more context/ this could mean to punch in or just sit and wait for this person like a flat tire.
