And I am also very jealous that my phone is not as special as everyone elses...its secretly a man whore.

Althogh I bet I beat Rouge in the number of texts a Month...I'm a Machine with that shit.



Kinky...

Last month I had over 13,000 texts & over a gig of internet time.

Internet is convenient but I could live without it. My phone has a beautiful screen and all that shit, but for some reason it makes me want to use the internet on the phone even less than I do now.

I've got a small handful of people I text, but damn do I not come anywhere close to 13,000 a month. I think I average between 1,000 and 3,000.

Edited to add, that doesn't include all the blackberry PIN messaging.

Texting and posting on TWF (and reading all the medblogs I have saved on my phone ) is how I pass my time at work. Rarely are we busy and it keeps me from falling asleep. Then I have my morning friends I text with....then my evening friends....it kinda adds up!

Yeah...I find it easier to use the internet on my Home computer...Plus I used to have it on my phone when I had my Sidekick 2...And All I would do is Be on the Internet even while at work...and I just felt like I wasnt being productive.

So I got rid of it and now I text ALLLLLLLL The Time...Lol

I don't have internet priviledges at work. Everything is blocked but 3 sites. We're not even supposed to have our phones in my area because of cameras on them. It's a security issue. But, I always take mine anyway and when the big dog and the tattletales leave, it's out of it's hiding spot.

I refuse to leave mine downstairs, especially since I can't always run down and check it. If I had not had my phone with me when I wasn't supposed to, I would have missed a very important call when my mom flatlined or when my son broke his arm. Fuck them. The phone stays with me.

I used to work for a company where you had to leave it turned off during the day. FUCK THAT! Same reasons as you, what if something happens?

The company I work for now, my phone sits on my desk right next to me and I text all day! but Spring is coming which means I'll barely have time to breath soon!

I text a little bit at work, but normally we're so slammed and short handed that getting in a break to text is tough. I'll stop for a few minutes just to take a deep breath and pop out a few texts before diving back into the shit, and then catch up on my lunch, but normally everyone I know is asleep by then, so it's all reading and no responding.

You work in the ER/ED don't you? I have a friend who works in ICU and he's rarely busy unless he's precepting. Then he still isn't, but doesn't want to show his preceptee bad habits.

Yup, ER registrar here. We're 100% bedside registration at our hospital, so the patient skips any kind of pre-registration in the waiting room and gets sent right back to the ER. We're just now hitting season, so there are nights where it's nonstop. And when I'm working, it's myself and one other registrar covering 26 rooms, plus three triage rooms, plus 6 treatment areas, Plus anyone they decided to stick on a bed in the hall in front of rooms, plus admissions, plus authorizations, plus transfers, plus hospice, plus phones. Add it all up and it's 12 hours of hectic chaos that leaves little time to text.
