Re: Bollocks to cloud....
Carried around a pager on alternate weeks for a few years. I got called out twice - once wa a wrong number, the other because we were going to lending that pager to a colleague for his wife to announce labour pains, and she called it (me - I still had it) to try it. I was in the bath...
Anither time I was on call at the weekend and had hired a tipper truck to pik up a shed - oddly, from work -
and I called into the garage to fuel it. When I got out, I heard a strange whistling noise, behind me...
Must be under the truck? No...
In the cab? No, behind you.. The pump? No..
Expecting an explosion... keep looking. Half a hour later; it's the pager, round the back of my belt, complaining about a dying battery...
Shamefacedly confessed to a colleague from the Northern offic, only for him to confess back that he had done the same thing last week in Glasgow...
Pagers -good times.

Re: Monday - Friday
"...I really need to be in work, at my desk when the dull work needs doing."
Then the kitchen floor goes unmopped, the windows don't get cleaned, the shower curtain doesn't get washed, the stringy bits don't get untangled from the vacuum cleaner head and, on top of all that, the dusting - all will be waiting for you, when you could be relaxing at the weekend.
