...on hold... still...

One of the worst things that I am forced to do, not only at my job, but in life, is to wait on hold.

A lot of places, have these Mus-ac songs with no beginning and no end so you don't know how long you've been on the phone for. 10 minutes... 2 hours? It's all a toss up! What a cruel thing to do to someone.

Occassionally I worry the phone receiver will fuse to my ear lobe. But that's just silly, isn't it?

I find it really interesting how long I can wait on one phone call, listen to the same riff over and over again without much complaint. Instead, I start to memorize the tune, make up words, and if I'm lucky, D.A.N.C.E.
