Isolation Diary: My slim thoughts adjacent to the passion outside…..why do I bother? But since I’ve started this entry I guess I will continue. Delighted today with Zoom improv, a Zoom chat with a friend, and later Zoom D & D. In between I was brought to my knees by the DWP. Just wanted to request a replacement green bin to replace a sadly broken one. On hold for……the happy jazzy tune I hear on hold was fun for 2 repeats, but by the twelfth and twentieth….?…and finally my phone battery died and I lost the connection. Tried myla311 and was caught in a Kafkaesque dialogue that finally defeated me and I was left teary eyed on the floor. Hey, there is always duct tape! Which I have.


The next day.

Today, I got through with only a tolerable wait. Exchange of damaged bin for new bin will take place on June 12. I did not attempt the website again, I spoke to a person. A person who I intend to use as an inspiration for an improv character…..so I got a double win today! A bin and a character!
