And here's the latest: You know, I got to thinking—which tends to give me a headache—there has to be a market out there for an honest purveyor of fresh lousy music on hold. So I did some due diligence. I researched online and found that "music on hold" is a widely acknowledged term for the annoying sounds you are forced to listen to if you believe the next available representative will be with you shortly. And there is already a business specializing in this kind of audio torment that has registered the url musiconhold.com. It has, by the way, one of the most off-putting home pages I have encountered in years. There are many dozens of other businesses that provide similar services. It's a dirty job, but I guess somebody has to do it. None of them, however, have the integrity, the common decency, the transparency to tell their customers that what they are selling is a truly lousy product. Until now. Now that I've hatched my latest brilliant business concept. With a brand name that says it all: Lousy Music on Hold. And guess what? You're going to help me launch my start-up. You're my crowd source. Here's how it works: My cracked professional staff has assembled six prototypes of very lousy music on hold messages, and you get to vote on your favorite.
