Buttercup Yellow
Aug. 13th, 2011 04:58 pmAfter all this time! I have finally found my purpose in life! It turns out the one thing I most want to do above all others is play Nola on the piano. To this end, I have ordered the sheet music today. Apparently my goal in life is to be Liberace. Who knew?

We had to make some changes to our work phone accounts on Friday, all four of them, so I girded my loins, so to speak, to ring Telstra. Always fun, that. My boss had a better idea: 'Go to the Telstra Business shop,' he said. 'They'll do it all for you.' I thought he meant the Telstra shop, which is one of those gleaming white outfits where someone with a microphone headpiece asks at the door why you're there and relays the response to the service desk so they have what you want before you reach them. It doesn't always work that smoothly, but they try and they generally know what they're doing, which is all I ask, really. Apparently, though, there is a separate shop for business clients to use, tucked into an out-of-the-way pocket at the back of a car park, and this is where I headed.
( Well. )
Back at work, I looked up their website. They claim to be 'passionate about helping local businesses with their communications'. Okay then. The website also says: 'Drop in, make an appointment, or we'll come to you.' I'm not sure if that last bit is an offer or a threat.
