@Hot_Pepper76 While on hold:
1) Learn to play the hold music
2) Create a couple of modal variations of it
3) When the rep comes on, play your new variations and ask for their critique.
The same “Allahu akbar” that Muslims chant when they win an election in the West should scare you the same way “Allahu akbar” after killing non muslims does. Both serve the same purpose.
A Muslim passenger:
"Excuse me, can you turn off the music?"
The driver:
"Why?"
The passenger:
"Music is haram."
The driver:
"Why is music haram?"
The passenger:
"Because there was no music in the time of prophet Muhammad."
The driver:
"Well, get off then. There were no cars back then either. A camel will come pick you up."

At around 2 AM on June 4, 1896, a 32-year-old engineer in Detroit finally finished the machine he had been building for two years in the brick shed behind his rented house.
Then he discovered the problem. The machine was too wide to fit through the door.
So Henry Ford picked up an axe and smashed a hole in the wall of a shed he didn't even own.
That's how the first Ford ever built got onto the road: through a hole in the wall, in the rain, in the middle of the night.
The "Quadricycle" was barely a car. Five hundred pounds, four horsepower, bicycle wheels, a boat tiller instead of a steering wheel, two speeds topping out around 20 mph. No reverse. No brakes. To stop, you cut the engine and hoped.
His friend Jim Bishop rode ahead on a bicycle to warn horse-drawn carriages that something was coming. A few blocks in, the car broke down on Washington Boulevard in front of a gathering crowd. Ford fixed it and kept going.
Now consider the timing. Ford was working as chief engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company and building this thing on nights and weekends. Two months later, he met Thomas Edison himself, who heard about the gasoline car and told him: "Young man, that's the thing! Keep at it."
He kept at it. Badly, at first. Ford sold the Quadricycle for $200 to fund the next build. His first car company failed. His second one too, and his backers pushed him out (that company later became Cadillac, which is its own insane story).
He didn't found Ford Motor Company until 1903, at age 39. The Model T came in 1908 and put the world on wheels.
Years later, rich beyond measure, Ford tracked down his little first car and bought it back for $65.
Two failed companies, a smashed wall, no brakes, age 39. Tell me again how it's too late to start.
Honest Cover Letter:
I’m interested in this job because it’s available. I feel I’m a match because I, too, am available.
You also list a “competitive salary,” which aligns with my passion for food and shelter.
I look forward to discussing this further with your AI screener.
@CaitlinPacific@Dcall1951 I suspect he did some combination of the stuff people tended to do during the other 167 hours of the week which did not feature "60 Minutes."
@Indy_reporter_@WTHRcom Plumbers aren't hired to trim the hedges, and Indy shouldn't be hiring a police chief to disseminate "Dear Abby" parenting advice.
