Holding

As I write I am literally on hold with my insurance company, as I failed to answer two security questions correctly, and am now locked out of my account.

Interesting music. So this is where Bruce Hornsby's career ended up.

Are there even actual people creating this music, or is it just computers using the Phil Collins 2.0 software?

Yes, I know you appreciate my patience. I'm glad my call is important to you.

OK. 5 minutes, 4 seconds and still holding. Thanks for letting me know you are experiencing heavier than normal call volume. Oh sure, I'd go to your website, except that I am still locked out of my account.

Oh wow, a person! And she's helpful! And - bada bing, bada boom, I'm in! Woot!

That being said, I am holding up pretty well with the new dietary regime, although it feels quite a bit more Pinochet than New Frontier. I really want something totally unhealthy for lunch - I won't even say it here because I am so damn suggestible - but I can't. I know it would be bad and wrong and stupid when I am doing so well. But this isn't easy. Then again, neither is coma, blindness and heart disease.
