Worse, there's the dreaded note at the bottom telling me they're about to do it AGAIN - which means rather than work at my own job, I have to wait till they're finished typing because they're going to interrupt me again. Sometimes, just to say ..thanks...(and another)..have a great day...
...guy is the controller and he works in a hyper speed, low drag company that borders on the insane 24/7. I e mailed the president, worked out a little deal, he cc'd to this guy and replied to me and cc'd to another need to know person. And my guy, Mr. I hate E mail, is a one task at a time person and does not want to be playing whack a mole with every e mail that pops up. I think he checks it once or twice a day. I totally understand because he MUST be orderly or this thing could fly off the tracks and kill everyone and every thing from here to Richmond. So, a quick phone call, a good/good, is this a go?

Done.
