Post the 2nd

In today's adventure, Seagull Boy waited on the phone, on hold, to be taken off a mailing list. You probably know how aggravating this can be, but I think I've figured out a way around it. I believe I have found a way to make waiting on hold fun. (I fully expect a Nobel prize for this.) What you do is, at the start of the wait time, have a few options for the type of music you want to listen to. "For John Tesh, press 1. For Weird Al Yankovic, press 2. For Anthrax, featuring Celine Dion, press 3. etc." So right off the bat, you're listening to something of your own choosing, which helps. Then, if the music gets interrupted by that jerk saying how important your call is to them, you could press buttons to have things happen to that person, and they wouldn't come back. "Your call is important to us. You are an inherently valuable customer to us. We worship the ground you walk on. We'd do anything for you, your highness, except perhaps pick up the phone. We think you're just wonderf..." (Seagull Boy presses 3: 'pack of hyenas'.) "... oh ... oh no ... my god, not the hyenas again! No, please, anything but the..." (Screams, sounds of smarmy individual getting mauled by a couple dozen hyenas, followed by John Tesh coming back on.) That's also how you'd change the music. (Seagull Boy tires of John Tesh, so presses 7: Godzilla attack...)

All that waiting has made me hungry. I go now, to hunt and to gather. Wish me luck.
