Example:
Al: “Hi! Bob! Good to see you!”
Bob: “Yeah, good to see you too!
Hey, I want to talk to you a minute now, if you have it.”
Al: “Sorry, Bob. There’s a meeting down the hall I have
to get to. Maybe later in the day, though, we can do it.
Okay? (Leaving).”
In this encounter, Al is operationally-concluding
the event by getting-away-from Bob.
(Note also that from Bob’s view he is, in effect, getting-rid-of Al.)
