Our CEO will often answer the phone before the developers do. :) Someone
asked me if the non-abliging developers were male...interestly enough the
male ones will answer it before the females...and the two that let me twist
my ankle...were women. One said she vowed to never answer a phone at work
again..unless of course it is for her and the receptionist called her. SIGH!
