always reachable

we are now in a zone where we are always reachable for work.  i am constantly connected to work by phone, text, email, and Square dashboard.  there is never a time when i am not connected.  i have toyed around with the idea of shutting off my phone and just turning it on every hour to see what comes in.  but i always have one foot in emergency mode because there is never a time when an emergency might not come in.  i guess we have all become doctors on-call.

my phone was stolen three years ago and i waiting for a week while it was replaced.  it was the best week.  i felt so much less stressed, less neurotic.  it's hard to imagine the 80's and 90's now, a time when i would only get news with the morning paper and the evening CBS news.
