To my dear fellow readers

Has anyone other than myself ever wondered why certain companies, people and yes dare I say it universities own such contraptions as landline connections or mobile phones?

I mean what is the point of possessing an instruments of mass communication, when all they ever seem to do is stare at the phone, wait for it to stop ringing and then turn it of a second later?

Is it too much to ask that they as individuals take into consideration the poor and extremely frazzled nerves of the human being on the other end of the line?

And if they can’t, as I suspect they won’t. Is it really that hard for them to reflect on the fact that they have alternatives available to them. And that these alternative, if followed correctly, will eventually erase the unpleasant dilemma (such as the answering of the phone) from their lives forever.

These alternatives are simple, so simple in fact that even the most imbecilic of people should be able to follow them.

The first option, and the most obvious in my humble opinion would be not to purchase a phone at all. Thereby informing the world that they wish to remain a street hermit for the rest of their lives. Communicating only by smoke signal and the occasional handshake.

The second though slightly harder to follow, would be not to work in a place that requires you to answer the phone in any way shape or form EVER. Consequently saving people such as myself the headache of having to listen to the continuous ringing that echoes throughout our headsets whenever your lazy ass decides not to answer.

It will also save us years in therapy, for the hour spent trying to envision a way to reach through the phone-line and smack your ID-reading, can’t be bothered to get up of your fat ass and answer the phone, head in with the receiver.

And the third, though not as fun as the other two, would be to just leave your phone off. Allowing people to have free rein with your voicemail, where we could all proceed to insult you in verbally degrading ways, about your inability to pick up the phone.

If you are non answerer and follow these rules as I have posted them, you will find your life is a lot simpler and more importantly mine will be too.

Why am I ranting I hear you ask? Well that’s quiet simple really, I’m currently trying to get in contact with the Assessment and Conferment’s department, as they’ve found it necessary to place a block on my Misis account. Which basically means I can’t enrol, if I can’t enrol I don’t get my student loan, I can’t attend my lessons or anything. And though its fun to sit on the other end of the line and listen to the ring ring ring of their connection, I’d rather be sorting out this problem so that when September 25th comes I can have not only my money, but I don’t know I can look forward to going back to uni.
