For fricks sake.

What is it with developers and bloody email???

If the system goes down and it's urgent phone some fricker up don't just send them an email!!!

They're bloody remote to which means I can't even wheel one around the room in his chair!

They're developers. Ipso facto they're crap at actual interaction with other human beings, other than via the medium of technology. Kind of like mild aspergers, without the clever part.

Semaphore. It's the future.

It's a well known fact that when dealing with cretins always put it in writing. Rule #1 in the arse-covered manual.

Experience has told me never to pick up the phone.

Very 19th century. Perhaps you should give them your telegraphic address?

Yep, especially if it's someone elses. That's what voicemail is for. They don't pay me to be office receptionist.

At my last client based contract I managed to avoid having a phone on my desk despite being relocated around the open plan office several times.

A number of times someone would call a phone a few desks away saying they couldn't find me on the phone system. Loved it.

No-one has ever called me to ask if I need anything doing... (except for Double Glazing).
