I was woken from my nap this afternoon by the telephone ringing. It was some girl from some survey company.
She caught me while I was half asleep and managed to get me answering questions. I asked her how long it was going to be, she said not long. I figured fine, it's almost time for me to get up anyway, so I'll spend 10 minutes answering questions.
The survey had to do with News Stations. I'm answering question after question and she keeps on asking more.
My bladder is starting to become uncomfortable, Chynna is now on the bed licking my nose, my CPAP machine mask is blowing air in my ear and I wanted to get out of bed and pee!!
Finally after 15 minutes with what seemed like no end in sight, I asked her how much longer. She said not much longer. I asked her how many questions. She hesitated and said not many more. I asked again. She said that we were at question 56 and there were 138 questions.
I told her that I wished she had told me that right up front because I wouldn't have wasted her time or mine and that I was sorry but I wasn't going to continue with the survey. She said she would call me back another time and finish. I told her no, that it was just too long and time consuming and that they should be mailing stuff like that out instead of trapping people on the phone for an hour.
Also, at one point I asked her for the choices to a question again and she rattled them off and this time indicated "don't know" as being one of the choices. She never gave me that choice before, only a list of 3 News Stations (Global, CTV, CBC or Other), so whether I wanted to or not I had to pick one of those even when I had no clue and would have picked "Don't know" for most of what I had answered.
