Egads! Last Wednesday, I tried to call the local NJ Bell Business
Office serving my local exchange (Peapack, NJ). Whether dialing the
800-number, or the direct number, you received the following:

		Ring, Ring, Ring.
		Click.
		Ring.
		Human Voice: New Jersey Bell
		Click.
		Recorded Voice: Please wait for the next available
				operator.
		Hangup.



I tried this several times on Wednesday. On Thursday I called the NJ
Bell Operator. The operator, then her supervisor tried for over 15
minutes to connect. No luck. The supervisor then said she would call
repair service.  I mentioned that in my humble opinion, it seemed like
the call director at the business office was mis-programmed.

On Friday - Same Problem. I called the operator again - still NO luck.

Today is Monday. Same problem!!!!!!!!!!

I envision a room of service representatives at the business office
wondering why no one has called for the past four days.
