The power to do nothing

[Adam Maloney <adam@iexposure.com>]

So I need to get our high-speed lines moved to our new office.  I e-mail
my account rep (8 months and she never gave me her phone #).  I get an
auto-reply saying that she is out of the office until the 15th, and I
should contact her backup rep.  I call the backup guy.  He's in
mandatory training for 2 days.  I get desperate and start dialing random
extensions.  The whole fscking ISP group is in mandatory training!  I
call the 800 number back and listen to the options:

If you would like new service press 1
If you would like to change service press 2
...
I press 2
ring
ring
ring
"if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"

I call back and press 1
ring
ring
ring
"if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"

Even more desperate, I call !nterprise.  They give me the 800 number
that I called in the first place, and another 800 number to try.  I try
the 2nd one, get some lacky on the phone.  He can't help me, but he'd
gladly forward me to someone that can..."if you'd like to make a
call..."

So in a final desperate attempt, I dial a few more random extension
numbers on the 1st 800 number I got.  After about 4 tries I finally got
the receptionist.  She forwarded me to my rep's extension...argh!!!
