waitment

A scheduled pause time between songs, but could also apply to phone calls.

I just adjusted the waitment on my music player to 5 seconds.

During the commercial free hour on the radio, I think they adjust the waitment longer.

I wish my manager would adjust the waitment between phone calls to be longer than 5 seconds, since I'm never ready for the next call.

I've noticed that when I hang up my cell phone, there is a 5 second waitment before my next call comes through.
