| 2. | telepiphany | ||
|
A profound realization arrived at while waiting on telephone-hold, usually related to the development of patience during trying situations. Waiting on a phone tree, I was subjected to a tinny, crackling version of Pachelbel's Canon - and I had a Telepiphany: "Lessons come in many forms, Grasshopper. This ancient music bears the patina of time - be patient with your ISP, for they will truncate it horribly and reward your patience with tech support."
