Puzzles on hold?

By admin · Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Thank you. Your call is important to us. Please hold and an operator will be with you shortly.

…………………….

We apologise for the delay. Currently we are experiencing a larger number of callers than usual. Please hold for the first available operator.

Does that sound familiar? How much time have you spent twiddling your thumbs while you wait for your call to be answered? It is not unusual for large corporations to be swamped with calls and all you can do is hang on the end of the phone and wait your turn.

What do you do while you wait, apart from getting more and more impatient? You could use the time to your advantage. Pull out a puzzle!

Why not be prepared for a long wait? Grab a coffee, your puzzle and your pen and then make the call. Not only will the time pass more quickly but you will be far less stressed by the time your call is answered. You will have fun doing your puzzle and keeping your brain exercised, too. Believe me, something as simple as this can affect your mood for the rest of the day. Choose the good mood by grabbing that puzzle.
