I think Naive has lost control of his thread.
*sad face*I think Naive has lost control of his thread.
I leave my phone at home, because it's attached to the wall.Off topic, somewhat, yes - But doesn't anyone enjoy being unreachable anymore?
I don't even get calls that I have to decide whether to ignore or not.I dunno about your phone, but when a call comes into mine I get the option to either answer or ignore it. If its a certain supervisor whom I don't care to speak with I simply don't answer.
You and I are seeing eye to eye here, more.When I leave my house, I am unreachable unless you follow after me. I prefer it that way.
Or maybe they are just suggesting you try not using a cell phone. How about that, a new experience.Well, how on earth does the fact that someone doesn't use one, help me choose the best one? You're getting way too literal here, There is going to be a headset, no matter what any of you say, and as such, saying "just don't use one" is COMPLETELY USELESS and is cluttering up my thread. Sometimes I think people on forums like this say those kinds of things just to be asinine.
I, personally, think DIAD messaging hurts productivity...
Yes and Yes, and the fact that they never answer when we send messages, to them, doesn't help either....depending upon the content of the message, I would have to agree. Letting me know that there is an accident on my area that I should avoid is useful. Letting me know that Keter may or may not be in our bldg tomorrow does not help me. Making EVERY message response required most certainly does not help me.
Dream, you have not been driving long enough to remember that the only way that the center had to get ahold of us before ODS and cellphones was to leave telephone messages at one of our pickup stops. That's right, you'd walk in to a pickup and there would be a message asking you to call the center. That is unproductive!
What does LAWL mean, and iirc, for that matter?Alright, since I actually have a sense of humor, I'll let those last ones go cause they made me LAWL
I just wonder who all of the people that use cell phones are talking to, that it can't wait till the end of the day, when you get home and are able to kick up your feet and seriously gab for awhile.LAWL is just another way of saying "lol".
IIRC is "If I Remember Correctly"
Suggesting I don't use my cell phone at work is like suggesting that I stop breathing, I am that attached to it. It's just the way.
I don't disagree that a passenger is a distraction in many ways, but not as much as talking on a phone...hands free or not. I don't usually have a passenger in my package car.Trpl,
I try to tell people that "hand's free" is still a distraction and they keep throwing back at me that having a passenger is the same thing. I say "NOT"! It's an endless argument.
God is my pilot! You should see the looks I get, as I go down the highway, sitting in the jump seat, as the creator drives us, stop to stop.I don't disagree that a passenger is a distraction in many ways, but not as much as talking on a phone...hands free or not. I don't usually have a passenger in my package car.
LOL, I can totally picture that.When I come upon people talking on these devices I think Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the back of the head.
VXIRoadwarrior B250-XT by Blueparrott. Looks ridiculous. Works great. Good for feeders. I would not use in package. It's that stupid looking.
I agree--it is stupid looking.
What's a bluetooth?
If it looks like that it better be good.
