Frankly, Wii,

That is not surprising. As an employer in more than one capacity - I banned the use of cel phones. I know that the workers with Ryan still use them when they think I'm not looking and frankly - that is not what I'm paying them to do. I can't stand cel phones. Yes - I own one and on occasion it rings. I rarely give out my number but must leave it on at all times because Ryan is my son and stuff happens.

Last night I attended a meeting of a community group. My phone rang in the middle of the meeting. My daughter had been trying to call the house and when the babysitter didn't answer - she got worried (not knowing i was out at a meeting). UGH - it was embarrassing.

Anyway - cel phone use should be allowed during breaks. But what did people do before the use of cel phones? They found other ways to stay connected.

Josh works during the day. I rarely contact him unless it is an emergency. We talk after work and use the phone - not messaging. We only use text when one person is busy.

If you want to make it work - there are many ways - be creative.
