We have accounts that have listed local numbers that forward to a national call center, then come back to the local store front to be answered, all with Big Brother listening in, tracking abandoned calls, and all that data everybody seems to need these days. Causes no end of trouble with local switch settings, though, especially with disconnect supervision and other signalling. Makes blood come out my nose sometimes.


Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored, they go for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing.
