On the subject of phones...

If you're talking to me, talk to me....don't do the "oh hang on so and so is calling me" and have other conversations in the background. Drives me nuts. Either talk to me, or say goodbye and go have your other conversation.

On the flip side, I'm struggling with teaching this to Rooster right now. He will come up and ask me questions or try to tell me things when I'm on the phone. I understand that he's accustomed to me working from home and frequently on the phone....and some things can't wait until my conference call (or personal call) is done, but most things can.

It's all about priorities....if I'm the one being put on hold or told to hang on repeatedly, I may just hang up.
