The pull of being disconnected.

Client emails me with a question. Landlord texts me a second time wondering why I’ve ignored his text about the driveway getting sealed next week. Dozens of unimportant or non pressing emails in my inbox. And of course the social media accounts annoyed that I’m not actively on them this weekend – you have 28 notifications on Twitter and 44 unread notifications on Facebook.

Great. I think I will just have to ignore them for now, no matter how addictive that witty response to that Facebook comment may be.

Honestly, I would have probably ignored them all had it not been a busy time at work. I know I’m annoyed when people don’t respond quickly to my calls. But cellphone service is very spotty up here in the wilderness. But then again it’s nice to not be connected every minute of every day.
