Another stupid conversation.

I answer the phone. (Names changed, of course.)

"Hello. Boisterous Systems. How can I help you?"

"Can I speak to Moira Daly, please?"

"Hold on, please."

I try Moira's line for a while. There's no answer.

"I'm afraid she's not available just now."

"What? Are you telling me there's no-one in Support at all?"

Yep, that's what I was telling him, all right. Practically verbatim.

Moira doesn't even work in Support.

I'm paid surprisingly well to have these conversations, you know.
