[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you can't talk it out with someone to explain that you simply are not available for a call at that hour, especially if you are willing to consider quitting. What do you have to lose?

But yeah, put the kid on the bus if you have bus service. She'll be fine. [/quote]

I've been with them for almost 15 years. I've never asked for anything like this - that's why. [/quote]

Precisely because you've been with them for 15 years and haven't asked for special accomodations is why you can and SHOULD ask for it now.

There are two extremely viable options here:
1.  Drive DD to school, and sit a block away from school to take the call.  No, no one is going to call the cops on you.  
2.  Tell your coworkers that you need the time moved back or - if the European coworkers are driving the change - move it up an hour.

As PPs have said, your stress over asking for an accommodation, being worried about someone calling the cops, and willingness to quit (!) instead of handling it are signs of some deeper issues. 
Perhaps you really do want to quit, and you're just looking for an excuse.  If your finances allow it, go for it.
Otherwise, please be sure to have this be the #1 issue you discuss with your therapist this week, because she needs to help you work through this.  The anxiety over both options isn't good for you.[/quote]
