Grumble

[triskellian]

There's a phone call I need to make this morning. I've made about ten attempts at it now, of which about seven resulted in an engaged tone, and the other three resulted in the phone just ringing out. How is it possible to be engaged one moment and unanswered the next in an office where taking phone calls is part of the job? Grrrr.

Sounds like a case of

::my phone is ringing::

*goes to get phone. Spots triskellian's number, and recognises it*

::then again...::

*ignores phone*

Have you built up a reputation as the bearer of bad news?

[triskellian]

Nope. Nothing of the sort. They're just gits.

Maybe the engaged tone was when someone else was trying to ring in, with equal frustration.

Lovely to see you at the weekend btw! -- thanks so much for coming up and helping out.

[triskellian]

You two too! We had a great time :-)

Hmm, incongruent icon/emoticon combo.

[triskellian]

Yeah, I know ;-) But I try to only use one icon in each thread, cos it confuses the hell out of me when other people switch around ;-)
