Yesterday, I made two phone calls. On the first phone call, the line was busy, and I was happy. On the second phone call, I got through, and was less happy. Why? |

Were you hoping to leave voice messages instead of speaking to the people directly? Were the two phone calls to the same person? same company? same sort of company e.g. you were ringing round insurance companies for quotes? Were the two calls related in any way? Did they regard the same matter? Were you ringing to obtain information? to pass on information? for work? for social reasons? to order something? |

Is the reason for the line being busy relevant? Was the line supposed to be busy? Relevant who you spoke to when you got through? Relevant what you said? |

Were you calling to see how busy they were? When the line was busy, did you just get a busy signal? Hold music? A recorded voice? |

Was it some company you were investing in? And the fact that they were busy meant they sold more stuff? And made more money? So you did too? |

were people phoning in to vote?YES to donate to charity?no ****************SPOILER************** I called the X Factor to vote for my two favorite contestants. The first line I called was busy, so I was relieved that a lot of people were voting. The second number I called, I got through, which led me to think this contestant's days were numbered. However, I was mistaken, as both made the finals. |

I had a feeling it might be the X factor, though I was hoping you were going to say you were taking part! |

You thought I was Melanie Amaro? Maybe because she's from Sunrise, Florida and you think my user name has to do with that. |
