Re: last minute questions and Linda

[Robert Myers <rmyers@wvit.wvnet.edu>]

Agreed.  Everyone has a tough day.  Especially Linda.  She's shorthanded and
gets an awful lot of stuff thrown at her and she tends to get a bit short.
On ocassion, I've asked her if it would be better for her if I called back a
bit later.  Sometimes the response has been "Yes, please".  Give her a bit
of slack and sometimes some sweet talk.  She needs it sometimes.
