Well I have discovered its possible to make it an entire work day without my phone. Granted I don’t need to use it heavily for my work there are still personal uses to connect with family and friends. I grew up in a time when mobile phones were a luxury item. Nowadays its a necessity for many reasons. Progress means having new things and new tools available to everyone and our mobile phones are a huge part of it.

Throwback Thursday: Can’t take my eyes off of you – Jersey Boys Movie
This is one of my favorite moments from the movie “Jersey Boys” which was directed by Clint Eastwood. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are one of the great groups in pop music history. This movie is one of my favorites because of the acting and the awesome music from a great era in time.
You can’t Instagram without your phone
I wanted to Instagram my salad I am having for lunch but I can’t without my phone. #firstworldproblem Not having a phone changes many of your behaviors and reveals habits you have with it.
I Left My Phone At Home This Morning
I am forgetful, we are all forgetful. This morning I left my mobile phone at home and it will be a day to get by without it. Fortunately I am connected at work so it’s not as big a deal as it could be. This does provide an interesting throwback Thursday though. It takes me back to a time when I didn’t worry about having a phone and I wasn’t hyper connected to everyone and everything everywhere I went. Nevertheless its still frustrating to forget something that has become a part of ones everyday life. Yes I know this is a first world problem and there are more serious things to be worried about. My phone gets the day off from me…I guess our gadgets need a break too.

The Mid-Week Post
We are at our midway point of the week good people. The weeks end is in sight. I am getting things done at work today and looking forward to a busy weekend. At work this morning we had breakfast as a company and tonight as a department I will have dinner with my team. So I will be eating all three meals here at my workplace. It’s like I live and work in this building which is not a bad thing. I love my work so its not a big deal. Whatever you are doing today make it awesome.
