I'm mostly this way, but not today.

I had someone with an issue signing up for an account mention that they were not successful because when they tried to sign up, they got a message that they weren't eligible because there was already an account using that email address.

I told them if they have a Gmail account, just use the + addressing feature, otherwise, just create a Gmail account.

Someone else responded on the first person's account "But they don't have Gmail, so they can't do it."

Let me tell you, THIS is a situation where a call is necessary. There's nothing I can type that will suddenly unravel the layers here and that won't lead to more layers being laid. It will be 100000000000000% easier and less time consuming to schedule a meeting/call and talk through this than it would be to continue this discussion in text format.

y'all need to just bluntly tell the people around you to get to the point, with that in place phonecalls are absolutely the quickest way to figure things out

It almost never is. Plus I probably have to write the info down anyways so just send me a text. If you have to call to explain it, I'll call you.

Fuck no

I need traceable communications

Send me an email, I don't want to discuss potentially non contract and policy approved things over a medium that won't record it

People, keep your communications traceable at all times

I didn't generally mind this quite so much ..

Then someone just could calls me without even texting first... While I'm already in a meeting actively taking to someone else...
