Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You!
Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You!
Two years ago I moved
to a new neighborhood. There seem to be very few people in this area who are
without telephones, so I expected to get a new phone quickly. I applied for one
as soon as I moved into my new house. "We aren't supplying many new phones
in your area," an engineer told me. "A lot of people want new phones
at the moment and the company is employing fewer engineers than last year so as
to save money. A new phone won't cost you much money, but it will take a little
time. We can't do anything for you before December." You need a lot of
patience if you're waiting for a new phone and you need a few friends whose
phones you can use as well. Fortunately, I had both. December came and went,
but there was no sign of a phone. I went to the company's local to protest.
"They told me I'd have a phone by December," I protested. "Which
year?" the assistant asked.
