I always try to remember my phone just in case work or home needs to reach me. It's a habit putting it on vibrate and in my chest shirt pocket.

My wife likes to text me when it's raining hard or real cold out just to tease me. Like "your aren't getting wet are you?" or "boy, it's nice in warm in the house"

I'm pretty much stuck with my company phone since I can be on call 24-7, even with an office job. I'm in charge of all the telemetrics on our gas meters and some have alarms on them for compressors and generators on pump jacks, and the likes of. Nothing like getting woke up at 2:00 am b/c a compressor goes down and the well tender missed the alarm call. Of course, I put myself, last on the callout list, but I still seem to get a call every once in a while.

The job has it's perks though, so a call in the early morning 1 time a month is nothing to me. It's more of a comfort thing with me having two youngsters under 6. You never know when one of those kids are going to do something which require a trip to the emergancy room!

Anyhow, I'm not sure if I'll make it out any more during the week. They are calling for some nasty weather that doesn't mesh well with flintlocks. I'll make the last day, this Saturday though and then the deer have a rest until next September!
