disturbing the Guyana embassy and other related matters
Why does it always feel like you are disturbing the people at the Guyana Consulate in New York when you call?
Why do they answer the telephones like they have more important things to do?
Why bother answering the phones at all?
What’s all the background noise and bacchanal taking place at the new york consulate I can hear on the telephone when I call?
Why does the person on the line engage in personal chatter with her other friend across the room while I am on the line with her?
Is this the same person a couple years ago who answered the tele to tell me the new york consulate was closed and I have to call back?
Why do I feel so powerless when dealing with staff and hangers on at the embassy and consulate?
Have you ever experienced the terror of imagining life without a passport?
Even if you never travel just think about it all day today and tonight as you rock yourself to sleep.
Why does 202.265.6900 the main number to the DC embassy give a busy tone and hangs up on me when I call?
Why can’t I get through to the Guyana embassy in DC when they advertise their telephone number to be called?
Why do I have to call New York because DC is busy? [New York does answer on one ring. Which is a sign of something] Who is on the phone at the DC embassy?
Why is the main line to the Guyana embassy busy on May 24, 2006?
Is tourism or eco-tourism on the rise hence the busy signal?
Are 2007 cricket world cup fans making visa plans this early and clogging up the DC embassy phone lines?
Are people calling to congratulate the embassy and staff on our big national day coming up in two?
Why is there no call waiting or the ability to handle multiple calls the Guyana embassy? At least two calls at a time.
Is that too much to ask for?
In what year was the ability to handle multiple phone calls on the same line invented?
When will this technology make its way to the Guyana embassy in DC?
Is this technology available in America?
Who’s responsible for procuring these complicated technological gadgetry and sophisticated scientific outer planetary devices if they are available?
Is it in the 2007 budget? Was this budgeted for 2006? 2005? 2004? 1992?
Ever?
If you know the answer to at least one of these questions. Please let me know. Please! I am begging you. Please!!
