I'm currently hearing awful static-laden music and spammy announcements while on hold waiting to speak to the call center at my bank.  :facepalm2:

Ooops...I had my eyes off the screen while posting...now think I have missed a critical part of the plot. Now I don't know who murdered whom.

*waits for more music*

Well, after about a 13-minute wait on hold, I have found out that the bank's computer systems are down,
so nobody can answer my questions at this time!  :facepalm2:

If their computer systems are down, that might be why there was a wait on the phone. A lot of phone contact centres are run on computer systems and software too.

What's weird is that I've never been connected to a call center; there's always been an automated information menu to use on the phone.
Funny that they only connect you to live people so you can be told AGAIN that the computer is down!  :laugh:

Do Parakeets have the same affinity with Crows and Seagulls that Loverbirds do?

I don't know.  Since they're raised in captivity, I'd hazzard a "no?"
