on being on hold....

....... while I would love to think that I could get on with other things while being on hold on the phone - truth is I can't - maybe those who have walkabout phones or speaker phones etc may be able to live it up a little while waiting in "the hold void" but not me.  Actually now I have been told that the phone company will "phone me back"  - it only took about half and hour for them to understand that they could not phone me back on that particular line since it was faulty which was why I was ringing..... (sigh)  So, now am out of the hold and into the hanging around waiting in case (pigs might etc...) they ring me back as promised before I succumb to frustration and ring them back and get put on hold -----oh god help us I believe I may have to lie down in a darkened room   just in order to get through the next nail-biting episode.
