But then I moved to a place without reception, got a job where I can't even take my phone to work, and lost my reliance on it.<br /><br />Now I love being without it. When I want to meet someone, I just make sure I'm on time. If I want to chat, I do it in the comfort of my home rather than rushing around town. If people want me, they wait until I'm free.<br /><br />I hate being available 24-7. Phones are so rude; they interrupt you, no matter what you're doing, and demand your attention. Being phone-free is a true liberation.Spanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893837904669368614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-4623359169146585292012-02-22T10:41:51.435-08:002012-02-22T10:41:51.435-08:00One of the nice things about being a field biologi...One of the nice things about being a field biologist is being out of cell phone range for long periods of time.
