Went upstairs to the office, logged in etc. and got an email from his boss. Seems the production manager complained that my husband was "sleepy sounding" and didn't seem interested in the issue.
Guess who won't answer the phone before actual business hours again?

Wait...the person who's call he ANSWERED and who he DID deal with before business hours is the person who complained? Wow, not only should he not answer outside of business hours (and he shouldn't...gotta have boundaries) but that person should be at the VERY BOTTOM of every prioritized todo list from now on. He will have his full, alert attention....AFTER everyone else who deserves it has it.
