I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am on hold with the post office. Theoretically. It's actually been about 13 minutes since anyone's talked to me.
I should hang up and call back, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nope, Dana. I sometimes call on another line, to see if it seems that bad, but heaven forbid they're actually FIFO, and you lose 13 minutes.
You can do other stuff, right? The internet is your playground.

Happy Birthday, Calli!!
Happy Birthday, Burrell!!
Lovely pictures, Tom.
And now, from the files of A Day Late and a Dollar Short:
My DH is KG6PCM, but he uses it only for hang glidingThis goes back a bit, but... what is the connection between a HAM radio license and hang gliding?
Nukes freaked me out as a childThey didn't freak me out, because I thought mutually assured destruction was a logical deterrent (I did not think of it in those words). Then I grew up and realized that the world is chock full of whackaloons in high places (and low places, and medium ones), and it is no longer even remotely reassuring.
edited because The Day After is not exactly the same as The Morning After.
Heh.

I have no other line. I called back using a different number, and apparently the person I want is at lunch. I wonder if they would have just left me on hold until she came back from lunch.

OMG, you weren't in a queue? My advice was way wrong, then, Dana.
Happy birthday to Burrell and Calli!

Nope. Placed on hold by an actual person. No musak or anything.

She put you on hold and then went to lunch?
Wow.
That's just. . . so incredibly rude.

Ground/Air communication at sites where your driver or other pilots can lose visual contact. There are frequencies set aside specifically for hang gliders, paragliders, balloonists, etc.
Happy Birthday Burrell and Calli!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They didn't freak me out, because I thought mutually assured destruction was a logical deterrent (I did not think of it in those words). Then I grew up and realized that the world is chock full of whackaloons in high places (and low places, and medium ones), and it is no longer even remotely reassuring.Jen is me.
And not just in the literal way.
