Life without a cellphone
It wasn't as bad as I expected. :D Well, my phone line got disconnected, paid the bill late, *Blush* Ah... the woes of the unemployed. (You really don't earn much teaching part time)So I was uncontactable via mobile phone for a month or so. Friends, if you've tried to call or SMS but no reply.... truly, my apologies! But I'm back, you can contact me at the same number as before.
Inconvenience for people trying to contact me... but my oh my, peace and quiet like never before for ME.
I can listen to music uninterrupted... No one calling after 11 pm....
Come home late without anyone bothering you and asking when u'll be home....
If someone shoots an arrow to you about alumni stuff, you have an impenetrable shield...
No longer stressed about giving immediate response to an issue or problem...
And you call people from the regular 'ole land line when you want or need to...
So... this is what life was like, before the mobile/cell phone wave took over our lives.
Seriously, if you want peace, you don't need white pristine beaches.. just switch off your dang mobile phone for a day or two. (No need to go extreme in my case of a month!) Your high blood pressure may return back to normal, your breathing rate slows down... you're more focused on the tasks at hand. And you're more in control of the choices you make. not to mention you save a bit of $$.
