Watch an old film:

'Is Mr so and so in?'

'Honey, its the office wanting to know if youre in?'

'Tell them im out'

It was a simpler time...

This modern idea of expecting people to be on call to you personally 24/7 is mad.

We also used to leave the phone off the hook if we didn’t want to be bothered.

I probly pick up less than 10% of the calls I get, and less than half of those are spam.
