And yet a phone call can be made, and a conversation can be had in 2 minutes, which would otherwise mean a half hour or a few hours of back and forth, distracting you from other necessary work. I like email or messaging when I want de facto notes to refer back to, or when response isn't urgent. But, with issues urgent enough for me that I feel it's worth inconveniencing someone else's time or when I don't want that conversation in my active memory for half a day (waiting on the next response), certainly that phone call is going to be made.
