...So I figured I'd actually get a cell phone since I'm back in the states, then I show up for work...and they give me a second 1.

2 &#*$ phones....and the won't stop ringing.


anyone else hanging around work with nothing to actually do this week?

Just for half days until the second of January, Then it is back to full days.

Full days here, no half day stuff.

Yeah...but at least you know your place...damned civilian that works for me is trying to compare herself to the military when its convienent.

Dr.MO is closed for regular business. So I am home. The few guys did not want to take AL get to clean the yard this week

... I think I need to give you a few hints.

1. you do NOT give any interesting/interested person of the opposite gender your personal cell phone number, but only the work number, and tell them to call at a certain time (i.e. lunch, after work) ONLY
because once you meet another girl the first one will not stop calling etc.
but at lunch or after work you can always turn the business cell off without getting in trouble

2. your personal cell phone number you use for important business only, i.e. bank, insurance, if you like maybe your parents, your best buddy, and you never answer a number you don't recognize

3. if somebody is calling you don't want to talk to, simply say: I am on the other line, I will return the call later. Then you hang up without getting the number.

4. the business phone you leave at work or turn off when you leave your workplace, or no longer needed, unless you wait for that "certain" call

Silke, in the military you don't get to turn your cell phone off when you leave work. At one time, I had a handheld radio I had to cary within 5 miles of the base. I also had a cell phone I had to have if I was in North America. I also had a worldwide pager I always had to carry. Once I got paged while I was flying to England and had to get a HF phone patch to return the call. I carried around so many antennas, I got worried during thunderstorms! LOL

Jerry, since the "hints" are coming from a person having her private cell phone posted with the real name on the internet, on several thousand flyers and posters, and using it instead of a business phone also since Dr.Mo is so cheap and not providing enough cell phones for everybody, and everybody and anybody can reach me under that number 24/7 ... I thought my hints are understood as a joke

ok maybe I forgot to add the smiley

as long you sit in the car during thunderstorms that should not be a problem... I just don't know how well convertibles work

any experiences, anybody?

Due to the metal frame underneath the cloth roof, nothing should happen apart from little holes in the roof ... I think I saw a test on TV sometime where they put a 'vert through some artificial lightning tests ...

that's what I thought but I probably still would feel better in a closed car which is to be safer than a house

I don't have to carry one any more, thank goodness. The only reason I have one now is because Linda makes me, but I almost never turn it on. If I ever break down, I'll use it to call ADAC, if the battery hasn't run down. I actually hate carrying one. I'm glad my job doesn't require it anymore. After having to carry one for over 7 years, I hate them. I love most of the new technology, but not the cell phones.

I will say it's better than a crackberry/blackberry
