How am I supposed to reach you if you never charge your cellphone at work? I know Im terrible about that. Hello, Id like to purchase a carrier pigeon. Ok, ok! I'll keep my cellphone battery charged! You didn't have to actually buy a carrier pigeon! whats amazing is that bird delivered himself! Marcy, please send that things back where it flew from. See? Im plugging up my phone for work tomorrow! Thank you Joe. Thats all that I ask. Uh-oh...this car charger doesn't fit my phone! Are those smoke signals coming from your house?
The assumption that everyone must be available to everyone at any time is so prevalent in today’s society that it makes me want to scream! I have a cell phone for MY convenience, not so that the rest of the world can reach me when I’m sitting on the commode. I don’t usually even carry it unless I’m expecting someone in particular to call or if I know that I need to be able to call home while I’m out. (And yes, I’m over 60.)
