And smokers. If you're not on a scheduled break then get back to the grindstone.
Pre- mobiles and internet time, question for those who knew it

I work for myself and some days I do less work for myself.

I dive a shuttle bus between buildings at a non-smoking workplace, and see three people at different buildings almost every time I drive past going to their car to smoke. That's professional smoking, with work as a hobby.

I turned mine off! And voicemail on my mobile ...
I prefer texts for short messages, emails for longer ones, or PMs here from you lot if it is something that you don't want the others to know. (Don't worry 'certain person', I won't mention the giant inflatable kangaroo!
) The only snag with texts is not knowing whether they have been received.
My stepdaughter sent me a text message yesterday evening asking if I wanted to see her today. I have been having phone reception problems and didn't receive it until 04:42 today. I know the exact time because the phone was about 6 inches from head and the notification woke me up. I didn't want to reply at that time in case I woke HER up and by the time I got up she was already out walking her dog somewhere without a phone signal.
Still, better to miss a few things here and there than be a slave to a phone ... Ha ha - and at that exact moment she replied to the message that I sent her earlier!

I thought I told you people never to mention the giant inflatable kangaroo.
Now those people from Fosters will be all over my case.

Hmm you've got me thinking about American 80s TV Series careers for men; PI, Mercenary, Motorcycle Cop, PI again and again.
Maybe that's what I'll do in retirement.

Oh, and Mannix. Mike Connors died last week, actually. I think he was in his 90's.
