Hi All,
I need my Bosses advice on how to proceed, however he is on a conference call (getting more annoyed!). How do others handle situations like this? I feel I ought to plow on but feel I could cause problems and waste time if I do. Any ideas as I have now possibly backed my self into a corner.....

Go into a circular room and stay there, that way you cant get cornered

What kind of advice? Is it a technical problem? what kind of decisions?

I am testing some 'odd' hardware works fine the bench test inside the new units (which are the 'same' as the old) doesn't work dig out the old units which are going to have to used in the test, works in them. Old good, new bad????

The new are fine you just need to know how to use them the right way. My advice to you is read the documentation.

The new aren't they do not have a sufficient terminal length, (according to the producers web site) and are being recalled. The documentation is hook it up this it works (it doesn't) sit for five minutes with a Vernier and you find the problem, look on the manufactures website find a reference to that part and how it may be faulty. Spend an hour or so with some pliers and you can make them work. I had to think around the corner for five minutes which made my head hurt! All good now!

URGNTZZ!!!!
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Clone yourself, and go both ways. That way, one of you will be right.
Of course, as far as most managers are concerned all that means is one of you will be wrong...

If it is a life/death situation, go see him right away; if not, just wait until he finishes the conference call.
Weird question.
I'd rather be phishing!

Consider putting a note on his/her table: 'whenever you have 5 minutes...'.

Call finished, Boss runs from room, wait 5 mins, comes back (sound of flushing toilet!) show him problem, agrees with a "well that a s**tty design, they are the same aren't they?" phone rings back to call. looks like I'm bodging this afternoon

Do something else and wait. *shrug*

Leave a sticky note on his monitor:
"Gone to meet daytime hooker, please call me back when you have five minutes..."
He should notice and call you back.
No memory stick has been harmed during establishment of this signature.

Always keep the boss(es) in the loop. They love it.

An you have nothing else to do while he finishing the conference???
How I envy you!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Walk in rip the phone line from the wall, stand and glare at him for 30 seconds and demand a response from him NOW. Note, only do this if you already have another job lined up!

I once had a project come to a grinding halt when a manager refused to talk to the BA or myself on requirements. After a number of meetings where he did not turn up the BA spat the dummy and she did exactly that, when hauled up in from of the development manager she explained, she was still sacked but so was the manager. The BA is still a good friend 15 years later.
