Why Your Calls Get Dropped

Here is a quick post😃

Have you ever found yourself calling the courthouse only to have your call not go through? I was calling the help desk repeatedly and after a number of rings, the call just dropped. When I finally got through, I was told that if there are three people already in the queue, all other calls get dropped. I was surprised that this information was not provided on the court website. It is understandable, though, that with a shortage of staffing and many of the employees working overtime to catch up, it is unrealistic to have a lot of people on hold. Three does seem a bit low though.

So if you find yourself frustrated when it is time to make your phone calls or try the live chat that is the only thing available at this time (instead of in-person meeting with a law facilitator), make sure you have something else you are able to do with your time that is productive. Here are some suggestions.

1. Keep calling until you get through with speed dial. Know the numbers you are suppose to press to make the call backs quick and effortless.

2. Have your tea/coffee/smoothie, foot/chair massager, relaxing music, fountain, etc. to have the most relaxing and calming environment for yourself.

3. Plan for something lovely when you get done, if possible. A nap, a pedicure, a healthy lunch, a drive to your favorite spot, meeting with a friend. Sandwich stressful activities with things that are de-stress ING.

4. Read through a chapter in the Psalms, Job, Ecclesiastes, or some of your favorite Bible verses. Remember we are still able to be a Proverbs 31 woman as we are the Bride of Christ.

Joyfully,
