Poll question: What would YOU do? My challenging dilemma
I've been waiting on a phone call for 4 hrs now. I REALLY don't want to miss this call.

However, I've been chugging coffee for the past couple of hours.

I think everyone knows what my very serious problem is right now... :blush:

So: Would you leave your desk and hope that the phone didn't ring while you were away, or would you sit here and wait for the phone call.

1. Go to the bathroom. Even if you miss the call, you'll be back in time
to catch the person....you'll be gone for just a small bit of time.

Plus, the call may not come.

You could have gone already and been back by now and not missed it.

Go!

3. I do this all the time. I just appoint a minion to listen for the phone,
and have that person tell my caller to hold for just a moment or two, I'll be right with them.

10. I took the great advice of the evilDUers.
Ran like the wind over to the bathroom. Not more than 2 minutes after I sat back down at my desk did the phone ring. *whew*

11. Go in a cup or a bottle.
That way, you won't miss the call and you will feel so much better! ;)
