Call Centres

I spent a good deal of this morning talking to very nice ladies in foreign lands via the BT call centre line. It took up more time than it should have. It was frustrating. I needed something simple and satisfying to do afterwards.

I've been playing with my Brit Bee blocks to regain my normal zen like state of mind. Ha!


It's been fun. Only my machine is complaining noisily now. I think it wants a drink of oil, but I am out. Time to return to the embroidery I think, until I can get into town to replenish stocks. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I think you deserve a medal for keeping your cool through all of that . I hate being stuck on the phone to call centres.

If you could go and get some oil it seems you'd be making a lot of people happy since we all want to see some more of your gorgeous quilt !

I spent half of Saturday and an hour on Monday talking to men in call centres. Complaining. I've lodged a total of 3 complaints with Npower!

Bernice, my Bernina, drinks oil like there's no tomorrow. Doesn't she know there's an oil crisis in the US? Oh, yeah, she's Swiss. Lovely looking bee blocks.
