Just keep it as "away" consistently.

@EY4 it stays "away" when you're away, and once you come back it shows "busy" rather than "available"

You can change the timer so that Skype times out after 90minutes instead of 5 when it's idle.

Appear offline or away consistently for a while.

If you move any contacts into the "external contacts" folder, those contacts will not be able to see how much time you've been away/offline.

Why would you do that to yourself?

Then no one will question it when they see it. Fairly simple. Sorry for the two posts

I've tried to figure it out when I want to do stuff around the house when unassigned - don't think there's a way though :/

I think if you set it to Busy it will stay that way even if you're away. Can someone confirm?

Change the timer on skype from 5 min to the longest possible amount. Also update the settings on your laptop so it does not go to sleep, ever. Not even when you close it. Yeah I spent some time unassigned earlier this year..

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
