How This Week's Shaping Up

First, I got lectured on keeping my Blackberry with me at all times.

"Even when I'm out running?"

"I'll let you make that call."

"And by 'with me' does that mean it also must be turned on?"

"Anne!"

Then, I went to comment on a blog over lunch yesterday and discovered our IT guys now block anything with the word "blogger" in the URL. A formal protest is being crafted, right after I calculate how much comp time I deserve for running with a Blackberry.

Let's just be glad this blog uses Wordpress .

I *so* agree with you. Don't they realize that our brains need to take a mental break periodically?!

I can't remember (or maybe I don't know) what your occupation is, but it is a pain to always be on call.

Grrrr, blocked sites. Damn.

How do you carry your blackberry when you run?

i take my blackberry with me when i run, but only because i run alone a lot, and in the dark. come to think of it, i probably should have used it when my foot was killing me six weeks ago. maybe i'd still be running now... :-)

omg! blackberry while running...

well, i keep my cell phone with me (work + personal on same phone). i haven't had to deal with a crisis while running (yet).

i don't mind - if i end up dealing with something off hours, i take it as comp time :)

As long as they pay for another one if in case you drop it..

Running is supposed to let you get away from LIFE, NO fun if you have stop to answer it.
