Geez, so common in our automated times. When we finally get to talk to a real person they must need a sword and a shield to handle our feelings of frustration and relief. "Now what was my point, dear operator?" The other situation, finding snow pants and gear, also I've been there. I simply love how you write about those everyday things with your happy ending being your sewing room. My happy place as well! I scrolled through your blog since this is my first visit, and I love your taste in fabric. Very quirky.<br /><br />We like all of the fabric to be fun, and when you are searching inside a tote bag for something, the inner fabric matters! I can also relate to the silliness of finally cleaning off a space. My spouse can't understand why my sewing room looks like a bomb went off even though I say I clean it up every day. That is just how it goes. I am looking forward to getting to know you via your blog. <br /><br />Happy Sewing!Jane Holbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491563293700909804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410268638207819650.post-40244648633482456382019-01-23T23:28:55.162-05:002019-01-23T23:28:55.162-05:00I don't know what -24C feels like but it sound...I don't know what -24C feels like but it sounds crazy. I would probably just stay next to a fire and never leave. You have so much patience to stay on hold for so long. I always give up after 5 min. I too have some government papers to take care of. It's quite clear what I have to do yet I keep putting it off. It involves my retirement funds so I really should stop procrastinating.Projects By Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707620997323055845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410268638207819650.post-82543188771873948352019-01-23T21:15:09.977-05:002019-01-23T21:15:09.977-05:00Love that you had a plan B while on hold.

Looking forward to seeing your bag. I have found it difficult to contact anyone by phone these days.

I had this problem recently with the power company, and after several phone calls, was put onto the " Escalation Team" The lady there admitted the other people had given the wrong information, and as I wanted to make a formal complaint, in writing, offered me a financial rebate on the next power account.I accepted, but hope it does not happen to others. Good thinking to leave the phone and play with fabric.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410268638207819650.post-39258295113742035492019-01-22T16:28:03.135-05:002019-01-22T16:28:03.135-05:00Your lining fabric is great fun!

Dealing with government stuff over the phone can be such a pain, memories surface occasionally (very occasionally, thank goodness) of dealing with people over the phone after my mother died 20 years ago.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461697058136548513noreply@blogger.com
