Grrr

A sad tale from this morning
I'm on hold somewhere in the telephone menu system of a company I'm phoning for the purpose of giving them a lot of my money. Every now and again I get a little advert break in the reasonably-non-offensive hold music.

This goes on for about ten minutes.

I wonder if I should have chosen a different option from the last menu. I hang up, call back, pick the different option.

Ten more minutes of hold music and adverts.

I decide to check the web site for opening hours. It takes me five minutes to find them, but then I discover they don't open on Saturdays. I can only assume they were going to keep me on hold until Monday morning.


In better news...
The album I'm listening to is by best-friend-in-Australia, and goes some way towards making up for the fact that I'm not going to be able to hear her sing in person for a year.
