me:	wtf?
>reads phone<
Phone:	"Mark from iiNet, degraded service"
>dials the numbers< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring<
ivr:	"Welcome to iinet blah blah blah"
>presses 9 for operator, thinking that little jingle in head< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring< >bring<
pleb:	"Hi this is the operator, how can I direct your call?"
me:	"Hi, it's sugarboy, I work there. Can you put me through to Mark please?"
(You always have to specify that, otherwise they spend hours trying to look up your username. Even then...)
pleb:	"Which Mark is it?"
me:	"Dunno - they didn't leave their last name, or any sort of usefull details in the fault message either. Maybe Davies? He was in last night"
pleb:	"Nah, I can't seem to find that in the list"
>pause as I try to comprehend this, as it doesn't make sense< (I'd just woken up, remember?)
me:	"Whatever. Is there any cs-tech/floorwalker/etc around?"
pleb:	"I'm the only one here."
me:	"Shit, they left you on your own in the morning?"
pleb:	"Yeah"
me:	"Did anyone tell you about any faults that are outstanding at the moment, before they left? That someone would call you about?"
pleb:	"Um, no, not really..."
me:	"Hmmm, doesn't surprise me. Anyway, I don't suppose -"
pleb:	"Hang on, did you wanna speak to Mark?"
>pause<
me:	"That would be really good"
pleb:	"Just putting you through"
>on hold garbage<
pleb:	"hrm, that doesn't seem to work. lemme try again"
>on hold garbage<
pleb:	"Oh, he's speaking to chris (ed: another chris) about the fault at the moment looks like they're dealing with it you don't need to bother - "
me:	"Er, are you sure it's regarding this fault? Can you comfirm with Mark that the fault he lodged with me was the same one?"
pleb:	"Not Mark, Stephen."
me:	"What?"
pleb:	"Stephen."
me:	"Who's Stephen?"
pleb:	"Talking to Chris!"
me:	"What about Mark?"
pleb:	"Mark isn't here, so Stephen is dealing with this stuff."
>argh<
me:	"Okay, so can you put me through to Stephen please?"
pleb:	"No, 'coz he's talking to Chris. Can I get him to call you once he's done?"
me:	"No, I need to speak to him, because this is an active fault..."
pleb:	"Well..."
me:	"Fuckit. Whatever the fuck it is, it can wait 'till this afternoon"
