welfare. How many times have you heard that when you make a phone call? Aphone call about something which is absolutely vital to yourcurrent state of mind? A matter of utmost importance to thenation's welfare...nay - the WORLD'S!! ...(umm..that may be a bitexaggerated - but hey, I'm annoyed!)It seems that every corporation, government department, odds andsods subsidiary - in fact any entity that has it's own logo -these days is incapable of providing real live people to talk toon a "first contact" basis.Of course there is the option of eventually talking to a real,live person - at least that's what we're told...by themachines...but can you really trust a machine who cannot feelyour pain...but I digress - as long as you have a good 20 minutesor so to spare.
(yes, that is a conservative figure) Now there'sa lot one can do in 20 minutes while waiting for the real liveperson to show up at the other end of the phone line. Wash somedishes, clean something, think about cleaning something.
Crikey,my mum could even have a batch of biscuits in the oven! Not me -my bikkies taste better out of the packet...But then, we're faced with another dilemma.....What if they turnup and I'm not there? They'll hang up and, what's worse, they'llthink I'm not the really nice person I am because I wasn't thereto show them what a really nice person I am and......@#$#%%@burnt biscuits!!So you stay there, on the end of the phone, humming to the dulcetstrains of "I Left My Soul in Some Elevator" played in D minor(hey, isn't everything?) on something which is pretending to be ababy grand but is obviously computer-generated by the samedigital dolly apologising for your inconvenience but assuring youthat your call is important to her...And wait for your call to progress in the queue.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Carol Dorman is a WAHM from Sydney, Australia and publisher ofNurture the Nurturers ezine - "the ezine for every woman,everywhere" To subscribe mailto:
