Good work

b) Acknowledge the phone, push back from his desk and just wait with this confused look on his face like he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do until I get it.
c) Eventually answer the phone if I make eye contact with him while it is ringing and he realizes that for this 1 time out of 10, I’m not going to get the phone and he’s going to have to. And instead of taking the extra effort to do anyway work, no matter WHAT the issue on the other end of the phone, he’s sending them to voice mail.

Hey he uses all my good phone dodging tactics. Alright... :thumbup:

Another problem is when I answer the phone there's a 90% chance I'm going to be transfering the call to the philly office. The people I'm sending over never seem to grasp the concept of voice mail. Like the person theyre calling is in their office at all times. So theres a 70% chance that phone is going to ring and the same person is going to ask for the same damn person. So because of this whenever I transfer a call it is always followed by a brief bathroom break.
