I guess I've finally arrived. To my objections, and kicking and screaming like a two year old spoiled brat, my wife bought me a cell phone.....my very first. And now insists I take it with me. I'm not a happy camper.
The younger crowd can't understand this, considering they were born with their umbilical cord attached to a cell phone.....and now couldn't live without one. Our good friend's grandchild, at two years old, has her own cell phone! I don't get it. I'm now retired, but have to believe entrenchment of these insidious electronic devices have impacted productivity. It seems like the younger crowd is constantly on their phones doing, I don't know what......maybe checking the R2R site. In my day, this wouldn't be allowed during working hours. In one company, we were not allowed to use our phones (land-line) to call our spouse. If we needed to call them, it had to be done during a break or lunch, and we had to use the pay phone in the lobby.
I don't like phones! I usually don't answer our land-line when it rings. And never had an interest in a cell phone. But now I have one! Here I am 21st Century! Please, don't call me, I'll call you.

I'm still stuck in the 90's with my ReefKeeper II controllers that communicate with nothing! And that's the way I want it. When I'm not home, I want to enjoy myself and not get notices from my tank that something is wrong.....there's nothing I'd be able to do about it until I got home anyway.
Now you will have to unlearn all you know about writing in an appropriate manner and learn how to text. Should annoy you just right!
