Greetings!
One of the things that has really brought about development into the world is telecommunications. When you now talked about telecommunications in the real sense of it, there is no way you aren't going to talk about the network and this is because communication will not take place when it comes to the digital world without good network. So, network is one of the main components of communication.

Communication and network are like to siamese twins that cannot be separated when it comes to the digital world. In the digital world, telecommunication needs network and vice versa. So, without one, the other cannot exist and this is where frustration always set in, so, when there is a bad network, communication can't take place. Even the internet will not connect and everything, even the gadgets will remain useless.
One of my experiences was at the weekend. At the weekend, I got frustrated as a supplier who supplies sand for building. Also, I used to supply stone dust and granite to sites. So, during the last weekend, when I was to supply one of my customers, an engineer at site, the engineer called me bring him a 3/4 size of granite. So, I asked him to send me the description to the site, but what he said, was that he would be at the site end that I should be calling him. When talking about granite, we have it in various sizes. So when he called and asked me to bring him the 3/4 size, I stood up called the driver and went to the quarry, getting to the quarry, I loaded the truck and left for the site.
So, like I said earlier, I have not been to the site and he has promised to be at site, that instead of him sending me the description, I should be calling him for direction. So, we left and immediately we left for the site, I started calling but his was not reachable. We left the quarry as at 9:30am, I first thought within myself that it was a joke, not knowing it was not , I called and called and I called till the evening, but his number was not reachable. I called him more than 103times, the man's phone was not reachable, atimes, it will be switched off, at another time, it would not be reachable, who is all this about?
So, in the process of trying to contact, the driver and the motor boy got angry and were shouting, they were angry with me for the unnecessary delay, they said, they have other people's work to load but that I was only delaying them. I couldn't do anything but to be begging them, it was just a terrible situation. As I was begging the driver and the truck owner, I didn't stop calling this man, but it was still the same story till evening. I was totally frustrated and disturbed. And the reason being that, I would be paid after I might have delivered the granite. Who would bear the loss?
So, at exactly 7:05 in the evening, I got a call on my phone with another number calling, who's this was my question? So, I quickly answered the call, and it was the man that I have been calling that called, I asked him what happened to his phone and he was begging me not to get angry, saying it's the network of the site that's not good at all, he said the site was a remote area and that there's no network there, he said if he had known, he would have sent me the address, but that it's when he got to the site, that he noticed that there's no network. He said he just left the site and that the supplier would not happen that Saturday again, he said he would send the description and that very early the following day, I should come and offload. So, I have to beg the driver and I also added to his money.
It's just a frustrated and disturbing moment for me, it was a terrible experience that I have never experienced before and that I wouldn't want to experience again. I wouldn't even pray for my enemy to have similar experience and this is because it's full of frustration and pain.
This is my entry to this week digi-prompt.
