Be careful what you wish for

For Christmas, I got an iphone.  Although I really just thought it would be fun to have an iphone, I rationalized needing one because I'd be able to do things for work and check my work email on the go.  Somehow, I never saw that backfiring.  I'm an idiot.

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: Oh!  I must have gotten an email!  How cool is this?  Oh, it's just a work email.  Still cool.

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: Oh!  Another email!  Hmm...another work email.

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: Really?  Another work email?

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: Stop emailing me!

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: STOP EMAILING ME!!!

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: FUCK!

iPhone: Bzzzz!
Me: FUUUUUUUUCK!!!

That novelty wore off pretty quick.  On a side note, we used to think my dad was crazy because he would complain about getting chest pain every time he got a call or page from his work.  He's not looking as crazy anymore.

  1. Does work pay for the data package for your iPhone? If not, don't forward their emails to it. Ick. If they want you 24/7, they should have to pay for it.

  2. You can turn off the email notification on your IPhone, you know.

  3. Yeah, but without getting work emails, how can you be one of those cool people who always has to check their iphone (or blackberry) in public places, like bars, the CTA, etc. I mean really, you have to show off how important you are, otherwise, what's the point of being a lawyer?

  4. I've stopped receiving work emails on my phone. Now, I just use it so that I can have my calendar handy. No more chest-pain.
