This is the first time this has happened in seventeen and a half years. An average of seven phone calls with a 50% success rate is the norm. I once spent an entire day traipsing from office to office, stubbornly refusing to give up - I wanted an external light fixed. I had set aside a two hour period this morning - I needed two minutes.
I'm still shocked - I look at the note of the conversation with Louise and my hands start to tremble. It's almost as if God is tee-ing me up for a meteorite.
