It's 2006. I cannot be out of touch with the rest of the world for 2.5 hours.Wait. I gotta comment on this one more time. Doesn't sound like you have time to watch the movie. So why go to it? Why do anything else but work? Do you sleep? Make love? Do you have your blackberry on vibrate when you make love? Take a shower.
If you can't take a 2.5 hour break, you have an exceedingly f*d up life, and I feel sorry for you.
Oh, piss off. You know nothing of my life so STFU, okay? Consider yourself "blocked", girl.
Well he ain't alone. I've got teenagers that I keep close tabs on. Cellphones are a big part of the program. I trust them to be where they say they are going to be, they do that by calling. They can leave a message if the phone isn't answered while I'm watching a movie or doing whatever.
There are professionals who are always on call, even if off-duty. Doctors, lawyers, IT professionals.
I know a guy who works for HSBC. If their ATM network goes down, he HAS to go in and repair it, no matter what. Customers who can't get their money aren't interested in allowing the IT pros a personal life.
