To me, what&#x27;s nuts is somegoing going nuts if they can&#x27;t reach someone else within a few hours.*<p>*The author said he&#x27;s on his computer every day so he&#x27;s accessible by email. When he&#x27;s not at work, he&#x27;s presumably by phone and therefore accessible by landline. I&#x27;d guess there are just a few hours each day when he&#x27;s neither at work nor at home--commuting, playing with kids outside, at a bar, etc.
