Chelan and Waterville Home Inspection- Why do I feel so naked?

Feeling Naked

So I get back from an Inspection. I busily writing up my report and had to head to a meeting.In my ear

I get halfway there and this ugly feeling comes, I am anxious and feeling, yes "NAKED".

 

I had left my cell phone on my desk.  Now comes the "what if someone calls?" "What if there is an emergency?" -------WHY DO I CARE!?

 

Do we really need to be that connected?

Is there something in those devices that make us addicted? Is this the grand conspiracy?

Phone Evolution

 

Maybe we should have a "National No Cell Phone Day (NNCPD)". If you really have to make phone calls find a land line. I lived many years that way and survived.

Can you imagine--- all the youngsters not texting, No Facebook on the road, No emails from here or there, No one-sided cell phone chatter when you are on a bus or in a coffee/grocery line!

Don,

We are now addicted to it. Cannot live without it. 25 years ago could not have imagined it being this way.

Donald, I know who you felt, when I have left my phone behind and realize it, I almost have a panic attack but it would really be nice to have a national day when I could leave my phone and feel guiltless.

Steve,  It is funny how it just crept into our lives. And we all welcomed it.

Suzanne, I think we all need to keep it in perspective.  But a day away would sure be nice.

Hi Don, borrowing from the AMEX slogan, "Don't leave home without it."  We are becoming an addicted and dependent world.  Our customers expect us to answer the phone, whenever, wherever, ...

I remember the first cell phone I had. It was huge like a walkie talkie. It had power though.

Dale,

 That it so true. And sometimes if your the first to reply you are the one who gets the work so it reinforces that .

Steve,

I remember having a brick also.  I had pagers prior to that for emergency response with a special code we had to initiate a response.
