Boss-across-the-hall update
Published by Becky S April 30th, 2004 in boss-across-the-hallHis dastardly plan to make us get pagers has succeeded, and I am pissed. Extremely pissed. However, the pagers have little keypads, and they can send e-mail. So…once I’ve figured out mobile blogging, expect real-time boss-across-the-hall updates—live from the mind-numbing meeting du jour. No more spending 38% of the day not optimizing technology–I am working across the mobility spectrum, baby.

So when life hands you a pager, you make lemonade? Good policy. Still, as a Luddite, couldn’t you try opting out on quasi-religious grounds?
Since I work in the information technology department, the Luddite exemption would be tough sell.
Moon Pappy and Moon Mommy would like to have your pager number. Just in case we need to contact you while you are not in you cubical across-from-the- boss. Instead of just big brother watching you, you are now proud(?) owner of an invisible leash. It must be nice to be so wanted and needed!
P.S> I forgot to ask what exactly is a “Luddite”? I have seen that word used before in your blog…that sometimes blows me away (or goes over my head).
carry a big purse–lose pager inside.
or simply turn it off when you leave the office. That’s what my dear hubby does!
Don’t worry about the batteries, they last forever!!
