A special place in hell is reserved for them...

Just so you know, I realise there's a lot of entries with this date - since getting to NYC I've had connectivity issues so I've been keeping track of stuff on Word - but now I'm posting them all!

Friday 2 June
Let me go on record as saying that I hate telephone queuing systems. I hate even more the ones that make you jump through hoops, pressing various buttons to get through menus.

And most of all, I hate the ones that do that and then tell you only that you can’t get connected to an operator.

All I wanted to do was ask if I could apply for a work permit referencing my I-94 when I was going to leave the country on it in two week’s time. But instead, I spent five minutes negotiating my way through a chirpy American menu system only to be told that I should ring back when they’re less busy, and a good time might be on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday – and it was Friday!

That aside, it looks like the work permit application will have to be delayed until I get back from Manchester again.

Bugger.
