I hate to admit my stupidity, but I didn't know what it was so I pushed it in WY.
I was extremely bored and Old School wouldn't answer his phone. So out of boredom and curiousity I pushed it.
Apparently dispatch called me seconds later and I didn't see so it went unanswered. So my QC went crazy with messages so I finally checked my phone and I had close to a dozen missed calls from dispatch, safety, and some security agency from San Diego.
I immediately called and confessed my sin to him and all was good. Except he had to spend the next 15 minutes letting EVERYONE know that I'm alive.

I don't have one. Kind of wish I did. Over the weekend I needed to talk to the weekend dispatch(emphasis on need... they don't get the pleasure of hearing from me unless I really, really need something) only to hear that I was 45th in line with an 'estimated wait time of...'(their program wasn't smart enough to compute a wait time). And all of you folks are sitting there with a hold music bypass button!
