Nomination for the best Music on Hold

Force9 this afternoon. The Mamas and the Papas, California Dreamin', all
that sort of stuff.

Hard to get pissed off about paying 45p a minute to listen to it, it is.
I'll give those guys their due the are good at handling us punters.

 

Oh I dunno, I had some decent Christmas Carols today - made a change from
Greensleeves!

being subjected to "Send in the Clowns"

I make a point of telling them if I find the music nice and relaxing. I
am inclined to add that I would prefer not to have to listen to it at
all but I am all in favour of credit where credit is due.

I haven't heard any carols yet but I can only see it as a good reason
not to use the phone for the next three weeks.

A couple of years back I phoned my company's San Diego office, and was
put on hold whilst they found a support bloke.

To the strains of "Who's Sorry Now?".

That got changed, sharpish.

Some of the notes my throat has got can get down far enough to give a
passable rendition of that. It is spoilt a bit though by the handful
that cannot make the trip and those that do but go to the wrong
destination.

No: Julie Covington. I think.

I hope I am wrong :O)
