Before retirement, all our vacations were taken in a wilderness area where cell service was non-existent and nearly impossible anyway. My employer never got my cell phone number. I had a life, and my profession was only a part of it—and kept apart.
We first had company supplied pagers – then cell phones – learned to really hate cell phones or leashes as we thought of them. We were expected to be on call 24/7/365 to support the customer… Glad I’m retired now and actually use a cell phone for something other than work…

Sorry, boss. The campground has no cell service. (That’s why I picked it.)

If he’s out in the wilderness, she’ll be lost without him.

working vacations aren’t really vacations
you use up your vacation days and never really did decompress and relax
