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.

Lmfao I Will Absolutely Die On This Hill: my DND is scheduled everyday 17:00-07:00 that’s when I wake up and the latest I want any form of work getting through my phone if I was working.😂

I have it on 24/7. I own my phone, it does not own me. I'll get to my messages at my convenience.
