Being on hold is intolerable.

Thanks, ArGee!

A few minutes after my last post, I called St George and cancelled the appointment, and asked the answering service to note that I want the next early appointment available, and then I decided to go to Wally’s because I was out of things.

Let me say this: I’m glad I cancelled. Though the BB SUV has 4WD, there is still the defroster factor, and as I was driving down the lane to exit the complex, snow was falling.

As it was, I had to remove over 4” of the stuff from all the windows and a small build-up on the outside mirrors before I could even open the door. I was surprised to see the 4”. I thought maybe two, at most. All I could think of was, “Welcome to Utah! The greatest snow on earth!”

When I got out of Walmart 20 minutes after going in, the snow was coming down harder and it was the little flakes that make excellent skiing, but turn to slush in a heartbeat. I hate to even think what the roads would be like on the way into St G.

Having been a telephone CSR for a long time, I know the panic that rises when the calls waiting for service are “in the red.” It seemed to happen when everyone was out sick or too many people were at lunch.

It’s also interminable.

At least it feels that way.
