erastesJust as a note to those who don’t believe that people take the time they do, I just had a rejection for an agent that I’d entirely forgotten about – that I’d submitted to at the beginning of June! Very much a stock reply, too. Onwards and upwards!
Back to idiocy – why is it that when you ring a company they don’t believe what you say? Last week I called the bank (in India) to tell them that my new card hadn’t arrived.
“Oh – it was posted out to you on 4th August.”
“Really
“Are you saying you haven’t received it?”
“-----.”
Then today I rang British Gas. I’ve got the measure of them now, I have learned if you keep hitting hash you don’t have to choose any stupid options and get lost in the ether and you are speaking to a human within seconds. Yes, I am sneaky.
“Hello – I’m ringing to tell you that my debit card has changed and I need to amend the details in my payment machine.”
“We sent out a letter explaining you’ll be getting a machine in November.”
“Well I haven’t received that.”
“It was sent in September.”
“That’s nice.”
“Have you not received it?”

Lucius is crunching on a mouse. And he’s just had his dinner too. Obviously mouse is on the dessert. Yuk. At least he eats it all, tail and all. I feel rather offended that he doesn't bring me mouse presents.
