Play Phone Tag
(1). To repeatedly go back and forth on voicemail without ever actually connecting. You eventually just email the guy with whatever it is you want.

Hurry Up And Wait
(1). To be given an extremely tight deadline to get something to a client, only to end up sitting around for weeks afterward while the client decides what they want to do.
“Well, Jeff, the client called and thanked us for getting the documents out to them, but told me they are having a meeting about them next week, so we won’t hear anything until after that…hurry up and wait, right?”
