“tinyredcheck”  Check out <\/FONT>Jim Calloway<\/FONT><\/A>‘s <\/FONT>Rules of Technology and Stress<\/FONT><\/A>  (via <\/FONT>elawyerblog<\/FONT><\/A>).  Jim says, <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
concerning his mobile phone, ” for me, the off button is an important and often under-used <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
feature.”  He offers a techie version of the Serenity Prayer:  “God grant me the serenity to <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
know when to hit the off switch.”<\/FONT><\/DIV>

\"profcranky\"  Prof. Crankalone<\/STRONG><\/EM> points out:  The first<\/EM> time I told a boss I wouldn’t <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
get a <\/FONT>mobile phone so he could reach me on weekends and in the evenings was <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
twenty-five years ago.  I pointed out <\/FONT>that I had a new-fangled answering machine <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
and I’d get the message when I got back <\/FONT>from my errands.  ( I might not have said <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
it that diplomatically).  At the time, most <\/FONT>Americans didn’t even have answering <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
machines and a large part of the population <\/FONT>considered those who did to be <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
uncommonly rude.  Don’t let anyone tell you that <\/FONT>time-saving technology will <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
reduce the amount of time you spend working.<\/FONT><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
