Wait, Waiting, Waited!

I would wait, I had said to myself.

I was waiting, I told myself.

I waited and then I cooled myself down.

At first I was sitting in front of the screen, constantly checking out the push messages. After about three quarters of an hour had lapsed, I peeking at my screen while reading the newspaper, old style. The push messages kept on coming, but the counter remained the same. The hands of the clock continue to tick, the short hand inching nearer and nearer to 7pm.

I started walking away from the pc, but still allowing it to run. Zach had already finished his dinner. Once in a while I peeked at the screen, only to notice the list of the push messages growing. Seemed like time was the fertilizer for the push message list, growing longer and longer. Still, the counter stagnated at number #2. Frustrating!

Around 7pm, I decided to throw in the towel. The waiting was in vain, definitely! The service had reached its end for that day couple hours earlier, I suspected. What I couldn't understand was why didn't they just announce it, instead of letting their customers wait. Totally incomprehensible and unacceptable customer service!

What a let down! I just wonder how you had come to be awarded with the title you hold now, for past years. Definitely a letdown!
