Dead on the stroke of 08.30 today I rang the surgery for an appointment. After listening to the reasons that I may want to call elsewhere (A+E etc), I received the exciting recorded news that, ‘you are number 1 in the queue!’
Perhaps my lucky day to buy a lottery ticket I thought!!
………Except:
This message was repeated at set intervals whilst blood pressure elevating music(?) was sent down the line until I heard the dulcet tones of the receptionist………….22 minutes later!
I felt a little guilty as I had probably disturbed her coffee oiling and set the default interval at number in the queue plus 22 minutes for the rest of the days urgent calls.
I suppose the lesson is in the word:
‘The word queue does't have 4 silent letters.…..They are just waiting their turn.’
