How do I know you're even at your desk? After I type in my problem how long should I wait for a response before giving up and doing something else?

The same way you know he's not at his desk when you type that useless "Hi": you don't get a reply. How long do you wait after typing a useless "Hi"? Wait that same amount of time after typing your relevant question.
