What happened to life?
Woke up Thursday morning to find I had no internet connection, tried all sorts of ways to resolve this... nothing worked. Only when I phoned the phone company did I find out my line had been “suspended”... Silly boy forgot to pay his April bill (Doh!)So, dashed up to the post office and paid the bill. Half an hour later the phone worked... Great, but, no internet... bugger!
Four fricking days obsessed with trying to get back online, spent every waking hour without success trying to get my mobile phone to download apps and nipping off to hotels to use internet stations that barred me from everything.
I eventually realized.... I am caught in the technology trap whereby life revolves around a keyboard and screen or a TV.
Looking forward to tomorrow when am flying out to meet the light in my life, swapping warm sunny days for the rain and the cold where there is no TV and a whole month of not needing a computer, just lots of hugs and cuddles, home cooking, dancing and all the things that life entailed before technology cocked it all up!

Now bcos of hi-tech, we even think "just calling" or "just texting" is enough without meeting. Finally we are alone...
You are right... the days of going to meet friends for a coffee or just hang out and catch up on the gossip are getting less and less.
I find it a sad case as more and more often I see couples eating in a restaurant together yet both of them are playing on their mobile phones ignoring each other.
In the early 90's my boss presented me with a mobile phone as I spent a great amount of time traveling from one unit to another.
I never carried the phone with me and told my boss that if a unit manager couldnt wait a couple of hours to be in contact with me then the manager was not capable to run the unit.
After many years I am using mobile phone. Now I am using it mostly on for business, talking with family and friend to get the meeting appointment when week end. And not to open my phone when I have lunch together with friend.
Maybe I don't understand the one that you are talking abt that the manager not capable to run the unit if he could not waiting for few hours to meet you.
I was trying to explain that a manager was incapable of doing his/her job if a crisis arose that they couldnt control for a few hours
Before computers, businesses ran perfectly well using letters or the telephone to communicate.
I always leave my phone behind when I walk the dog.
I got internet to my office on 1997, that time I worked at Japanese company and cell phone I got on I think 1998, only for calling and SMS. but now days cell phone can become as magic square as we can check everything there.
you should leave that company...ASAP!
