You’re on hold with Satan
I just placed a phone call to a staffing agency for business-related stuff, and I was placed on hold while they went to find my appropriate contact. (side note: they all sit 5 feet from one another, yet need 2 minutes to locate their co-workers when someone calls. Especially if that someone on the phone is looking for work. Anyway…)
It turns out their hold music is Jack FM. Ugh. When I was placed on hold, one song was just ending. The next song? Ozzy Ozbourne, “Crazy Train”.
Right. That makes sense. Because when you’re a boring temp agency, a screaming dove-head-biting alcoholic rockstar is exactly the image you want to present to your workers and clients.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Ozzy. I was less annoyed for being kept on hold while my representative looked up some more excuses why they have no work for me.
