Are you cool enough to call?

I am all hooked-up, like most of my generation and certainly the one behind us. I have my cell phone with me at all times, for more texting than actual calls. I am not big on being called on my cell phone. I mean, for a very select few people who are my inner circle, which is mostly comprised of family. They can call me on my cell at any time. But when I am off to ballet and then Tae Kwon Do I do not have time to talk to any one of a hundred dumb calls we get on the house phone. And if it weren't for those calls I wouldn't even have a cell phone.

I remember when the mss public got pagers. It so completely irritated me because people felt like it was ok to interrupt you, regardless of what you were doing, and that you were somehow obligated to calling them right back. Like someone I knew who would page me when I was out on a date to get me to bring in ice cream or equally trivial item to her. What in the heck is that about anyway?
