Am being rather passive on this afternoon's conference call, probably as a response to the midday call where I both ran the call and took notes...

I will have 5 calls in my 4-day week this week, if I skip the call on Thursday afternoon that I don't think I'd have anything to contribute too. Next week, in contrast, will have no conference calls unless you count the cyberseminar in WebEx that I'll be leading on Monday.

If the phone system dies, it's almost as bad as the Internet going down.
