Music on hold...

It's the end of the year and I'm calling around to Medicare, Social Security, insurance companies, banks, mortgage company to do updates. Social Security is open all night and for some odd reason the recorded message says there is a long wait time as they are receiving an extremely a high call volume.
WTF... it's 2am.
So 55 minutes of waiting on hold and one song playing in a loop was enough to memorize. Too bad I wasn't near a guitar or piano as I could have figured out the tune.

I was dreading calling my internet service to change to the bulk rate...now it is paid through the HOA monthly fees...saves me money with faster service...I thought it would have many kinks...because the toll free number was 2 weeks late...given to the residents..Easy Peasy....but, I didn’t call at 2AM...
Sounds so different there in America. Down under I can do all of that online without going to chat. Also, best part going through their Official Website, if you need to chat, the response time is as low as 2 minutes or they offer to call you back. Well, here down under. Obviously different there in America.
2am? Fucget that. W.
gone, basic cable is part of my HOA. I'm paying around $75 a month for high speed internet because I'm 'Googled' to my office and prefer more speed than the basic internet.
I have gone without cable for 4 years now...I was paying way too much for it..Got me on the cheap 2 year plan..then, steadily went up...I did not watch all that much on TV anyways...The only thing I do miss is sports...NFL and Olympic Games..sometimes people talk about shows and actors..I have no idea who they are...

Cable is not even available in the neighborhood I live in now...Most people have streaming services now.

I will have 1 gig speed service for $50 a month..which is in my monthly HOA fees...

My cable bill and my lawn service I was paying in my old home are still is more than my HOA fees are now..that is a win for me.
Wrink, I started early and used the callback feature where you don't lose your place in line. I think the original stated wait then was 45 minutes. After an hour, i called back and decided to stay on hold.

Sometimes the websites actually have the answers I'm looking for, but sifting through menus isn't to my satisfaction. It appears a few of the chat windows I encountered are automated AI bots and not real people. When I experience that scenario, annoyed I intentionally ask questions there aren't answers for and they refer me to go through the menu.
