I CALL YOU FOR….
Every time that a teleoperator call us, our accelerated way of living won’t let us understand the fact that we are talking to a person who is simply doing their job. Time is so priceless that when they call us, we have the feeling that they are stealing it from us… but when we get angry we don’t seem to care at all.
