There is?
Looks at phone.
Oh yes, there is. It probably has something to do with my expired account [1]
no doubt.
Picks up the phone, and dials *98.
“Ring.”
“Ring.”
“Ring.”
“Comedy Mail. Mailbox.”
“Comedy Mail. Mailbox.”
“Comedy Mail. Mailbox.”
What the— Okay, I think this is the password.
Dials a few numbers.
“Password.”
“Password incorrect.”
“Password.”
“Password incorrect.”
Oh! I guess it was this then …
Dials some different numbers.
“Password incorrect.”
“Password.”
“Password incorrect.”
<click>
Okay, let me try that again!
“Ring.”
“Ring.”
“Ring.”
“Comedy Mail”
Yeah, that's what I thought it said. Real funny.
“Mailbox.”
“Mailbox.”
Oh! It must be expecting my extension. Um … this is an “intelligent” desk
phone talking to a custom business switch. Shouldn't it **already** know my
extension? Bloody programmers!
Dials extension.
“Password.”
Dials some numbers.
“You have one new messages and no old messages. Please press …”
That's more like it.
