Peaceful Day

[JEBIV]

I left my cell phone at home and the Delta engineering team has a holiday today. Relaxing at my desk and accomplishing what I need to do with no interruptions, Sweet!!

That’s awesome.  After the initial anxiety of leaving my phone at home, I find it oddly and pleasantly liberating.

That is nice. I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have my phone on me.

I had that once upon a time. Good to you my friend. Hope you enjoyed you day!

You jumped on a time machine bro, back when cell phones and computers hadn't taken over the world yet. A time when you had to go out and live to experience it.

I hate cell phones. If I have mine on me during the day, it is usually turned off. My wife wants to kill me for that. Oh well... life used to be so simple...

I envy those that can leave there phone behind.  I’m not one of you[emoji2957].  Mostly because I work long hours & have teenagers.

I remember the days of 3 teenage girls and being an operation manager of a 24/7 intermodal operation with 38 trucks. 3 Nextels on my belt at all times. When I left I didn't carry a phone for 5 years

So...it was like you never had a phone then(?).  They had the absolute worst network.  You could be 100yds from their tower & not get a signal.

My cell doesn't get reception at work within the building. So, I turn it off during the day to save the battery. When I get out of the building for the day, sometimes I forget to turn the damn thing back on... I am not a fan of these damn things. I refuse to be tethered to it. My wife is, and it pisses her off that I am not. Oh well. I miss the simple life.

It drives me crazy to see all these people with the "device" in their hands, typing away constantly. Best one I've seen... while standing at the urinal... the guy next to me is texting while he's taking a piss... WTF?!!!

Not in Atlanta, the network was awesome back in the day, late 90's early 2000's

I guarantee, I always will...

Barely use my smart phone.  Use it driving to work or when I'm running errands.  I rarely text.  I'm still one of those old guys who still has a landline.  Can't take my phone into work because I work in a prison.

   In the nineties I had the perfect pager setup. Certain Panasonic phones could call your pager and leave the number, a one after the number let you know a message was left. Had a black book with everybody's number in it. Damn that was efficient.
   The company's I work with all had Nextels so that was a no brainer to get. The network was good, had a job in Hawaii and had no problems making and receiving calls to the east coast. Any Nextel fan will tell you the PTT was the shit. Those were the days.
