I am in a sensory hell of my own creation

in a crowded noisy waiting room, on the phone, on hold, hungry

oh fuck

that's so many layers of no

but the call is necessary to make and my ride would prefer not to leave until I have received the information I am calling for

I don't even have earbuds, I just have to sit here being bored, holding the phone to my ear and continually paying attention to make sure I don't miss it when I come off hold

I hate whatever piano piece this is now

13 mins on hold

I was on for 11 mins earlier before I hung up and called again in the futile hope. of idk getting a different queue?

bonus, there are small children in this waiting room

I shouldn't be plurking but it relieves the boredom while still keeping the phone closeish to my ears

oh now a child is crying

I have escaped

whew!

aaaand successfully got the (other, quieter, nicer) place to take my blood \o/
