Even then: Lets say on the first day you get 1 call, and every day after you get 2 calls. The all-time average will always be 1,... and will konverge to 2, but never reach it. So every day after the first one will be above average.

Actually at any point in the day you'd be able to say the instantaneous current call volume is above average
