You shall not call....(for too long!)

Once upon a time, yours truly was enjoying his lunch break as from a distance a call came in.

The dear maidens from the front office were presented with a riddle. They were able too call, but only for a limited time. Suddenly it would strike the 30th second and the connection would vanish.

Putting his elvish bread aside and onto the rescue, the young sorcerer (more like middle-aged) put his hat on (hair net) and traveled to the troubled maidens through Moria (hygiene area, thus the hair net). Upon arrival the 2 maidens looked disstressed as a good part of their duty is to call other people, and those 30 seconds are not always enough. One of those maidens now disappeared, riding towards the horizon as her shift had ended, the other one remained, still hopeful the sorcerer might be able to help.

Different spells were cast upon the problem. VoIP <-> VoIP, VoIP <-> External, Receive and Call, yet the problem always remained. After the 30th second, the connection would vanish. The sorcerer remembered the time when the ancient scrolls were written that SFB (Skype for Business) was not giving out 2nd breakfasts. Only 1 breakfast at a time. So what if the first maiden forgot to finish her breakfast and the second one wouldn't receive any?

So the sorcerer cast one of his most powerful spells...the task manager. It revealed his suspicion to be true, that the first maiden had indeed not finished her breakfast (only disconnected instead of signed off). The sorcerer removed the session and the calls were working again as they should. So in case Gondor would call for aid, Rohan would be able to answer without getting disconnected.

The sorcerer returned to his chambers and nibbled some more on his elvish bread.
