The people shown look like they want to be a member of the Borg!

For some reason, this strikes me a sort of like wearing your underwear on the outside of you clothes. How wierd is that?

I guess that means I'm a 4 day work week guy struck in a 5 day work week emvironment.

Ryan, no you're not. I don't have a bluetooth headset, nor do I plan on obtaining same at any time within the foreseeable future.

Another rant: why do people feel they are so important that they insist in answering or continuing to carry on cell phone conversations when in my office (and other offices which I have visited). It gives me the impression that the reason the person has for being here is secondary to the conversation the person is having with whomever s/he is speaking. Clarification: if a client's cell rings while in conference, and he/she asks, after checking the caller, if s/he may answer; if a business client, there's no problem with me; if not a business client, then I may have some issues.

I had a pager once. I hated it. I had a cell phone three times. I hated them. (All of these were obtained under pressure and against my wishes and better judgment). No I have none of the above. As I grow older (and older and older), my only defense is too decomplicate my life as much as possible. Every little bit helps. I refuse to talk to my daughter on her cell phone while she is driving. It took a while, but she finally got tired of me answering, and being able to tell by the background noise that she is on the road, asking "What's on fire??" When she said, "Nothing", I just hung up.

And pity the young lawyers who forget to turn their ringer off in most courtrooms. Hahahahahahaha! You'll remember next time, plebe!

You'll not be annoyed by my blue tooth, nor my cell phone. No doubt, though, I probably be able to accomplish it in other ways! :)

Remember that beer commercial when the guy thinks that the smokin' hot chick is talking to him?

God, I loved that!!!!

I would imagine that the sales of BT headsets went down quite a bit after those commercials aired.

Anyway, my thought when I see someone wearing one of those headsets is that they are WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too insecure for their own good.

No Bluetooth for me, although I do have a cell, which does not have Internet capabilities. No text messaging, either. If someone needs to tell me something, they can call. No games, no music (except for The Doors ringtone. Hello, I Love You...)

I have a cell because I don't always drive the most reliable car. If something happens, I want to be able to reach someone without walking miles and hoping I have change on me or without having to rely on a stranger to rescue me. Believe me, when I lived out in the middle of the nowhere and had a flat, I did plenty of long distance walking. Rather dangerous for a single woman.
