I too was tied to the phone for 39 years being in sales management and responsible for many routes, managers and sales people. If my boss was not looking for me a customer was. Every day while camping I had to drive to where there was a signal a minimum of four times seven days a week. Sometimes it would only take a few minutes while other times it could tie up half a day. When I retired five years ago I had a bad case of withdrawal. Since then I have not looked back and enjoy every minute. Have not carried a phone for the past five years and don't plan to get one.
