@Leigh Anne: thanks – it was one of those days that I kept moving from one thing to the next, so it didn’t feel like I was focusing on anything enough to accomplish it.

But anyway, the doorbell we ordered is a lot like this one – the button parts we stuck (double-sided tape) by each chair at the desk, and the ringer part is in the back office, so it’s easy for desk staff to ask for help during a rush. The admin staff make jokes about being summoned and their Pavlovian response to the bell, but it works well. Ours cost less than $20, was really easy to install, and has significantly improved our customer service during short-staffed and busy times.

Might I ask about that “wireless doorbell”? Namely, where did you get it, was it reasonably priced, hard to install, etc.? Methinks something like that would be really useful around here…

It is like the devil spawn of MySpace, but PINK! I’m 26 and this is the first time I have felt truly OLD.
