       • On page load:
       • If the user has a timer running for a specifig disposition, upon closing that one, a new timer is started using that same disposition.
       • Even if there are not timers running, previous disposition is used to start a new timer on page reload.
       • If both previous logic fails, by default the dispo set in the config is used to start a new timer.
