Yeah, it is!

Originally they had a wee shop where Victoria and manners street meet, but went mobile at some point

I had a random thought today - Any (ex?)Wellingtonians remember Ed's Juice Bar?

I miss that place...

Well put!

I wonder how much it actually cost though...

Yes, unfortunately, it still feels like there's really only two telcos in the country - with various rebadged products (skinny, et al - I've list track of who's actually who).

Then again, our population density is probably off putting for any prospective telcos eyeing up the market!

That certainly sounds like the work they've got me involved in (migrating staff onto a common computer platform)

there's just no way moving the users and computers away from the hospital where all their data and systems reside is going to be an improvement for anyone...

Honestly, I'm thinking of getting my whole team to apply. Fuck these assholes

We should get comcom to look into it so they can do absolutely fucking nothing, like the last few scams they've rubber-stamped

Yes! Beach waves and bird noises or something? Sounds great!

I hate how the music gets stuck in my head or has associations I'd rather not mix with my displeasure when dealing with.

That and my cynical view of aussie companies trying to look local using kiwi music (while the call taker is wherever is cheapest)

What would your ideal hold 'music' be?

I've always hated these things and think music is a terrible choice as it can only ever reinforce the 'middle of the road' tastes (something I have big problems with in NZ).

But the ringer sound just reduces your brain to mush after a few minutes as well...

Would silence work, with the occasional 'you're _n_th in the queue' update? I think that's my best choice

Oh wow, I forgot about APOD!

I loved some of their colourised nebula images
