"I manage a business myself - I have been known to turn off the phone sometimes
(for a short while) just to get a break from the bullsh**, ya know !"
Yah, like right now my brain has gone fuzzy, so I just have to take a break
from answering questions and the phone (altho I've saved all the questions to
answer in a few days -- sorry for delays).
Interestingly, a similar topic has been coming up in other forums lately (about
one-person businesses needing to get away or just plain work, for that matter).
For example, in an Amiga group recently:
"I started out with one phone that stayed busy much of the time, I now have
three lines that again are busy so much of the time that not much else seems to
get done. A small one to two person company that has a shipping product can
spend so much time on the phone with support calls that there isn't any time
left for upgrades or new developments. At some point a decision has to be made,
is the effort put into answering calls as they come in, or is the time spent
developing new products."
