I do the email thing too (as does my boss). In our case it's not down to truthfulness - it's down to convenience. Better have an email that you can deal with at a time that suits you than get interrupted by a phone call when you're in the middle of another job and need to concentrate. Besides, my boss never knows which of three phone numbers I'll be on, so it'd be a bit hard for him to call me.

Brick?

Is he square and dumpy?

I admit that a lot of the time I'll e-mail rather than call as it's more convenient for the recipient who can then reply at their leisure.

Although urgent stuff will get a phone call and a shout of "WHY THE **** IS THIS CAMERA NOT WORKING WHEN YOU SAID IT BLOODY WAS!!??" Or somesuch

First I'll walk and speak to them face to face, if that's not possible I'll call them if that's not possible/available then I'll e-mail them, unless of course it's the client in which case I ignore them!

Conversation between me and my manager just now (kinda sums up the whole day):

"Is that the person from the memory clinic?"
"I can't remember"

(NB: It wasn't...they haven't turned up...we think they've forgotten the appointment...
