The Good Ole IRS - On Hold

Trying to setup pre-payments for taxes...
  1. Kim took the hold line for about 20 minutes
  2. She gave it to me, so I could speak with a representative
  3. He forwarded me to hold for another dept.
  4. I gave the phone back to Kim to hold
  5. She gave it back to me to hold further as she cried Kovi to sleep
  6. The guy answered, and forwarded me back to the original dept before I could tell him that I had already been there
  7. I'm still on hold
--> I decided to do this today because I had a success... and that energized me enough to deal with this... I operate like this... only when I feel good can I deal with being on hold...

--> So Kovi is crying in one ear and Amadeus is playing in the other... with a repeating... "Please hold..."

It's good to be in da bidness...

I said, "..only when I feel good can I deal with being on hold..."

I guess that was a lie. Maybe I should say, "... only when I feel good can I deal enough with being on hold to ask Kim to hold for me..."

That is a kind of "virtual hold"... since I still feel the pain as she walks around with the phone stuck on her head...

BTW, I finally hung up... and found the online way to do it.

The internet is beautiful.
