Meanwhile I'm closing in on 3 years with no govt issued phone and it's glorious. Zero pressure to check emails after hour on my work phone when you don't have one!

There are many, varied emotions when you hand over command to someone else.

But the feeling of elation as you launch the WIPE cycle on your mobile device, well...

I have a phone... I check it during work hours, or when travelling.

I'm not paid to be "on call" 24/7, so I'm not.

I have nothing personal on my work phone, it's for work, not surfing social media. I have my own phone for personal things. Maybe I'm odd in that I like a separation of "church and state" when it comes to my life.

That feeling was almost the best part about retiring!

Still don't have a work phone for my current job. I have a work laptop, a vestige of COVID, which I am desperately trying to give up.

I essentially am on call but even then, my work and personal phones are separate.

Except for the one or two folks at work who have both "just in case".

We should make sure there are pokestops at all recruiting centers and then start interviewing anyone that wanders in the vicinity by accident.

Dammit, I was gonna make a Sigs joke.

All jokes aside, when I deployed with a young daughter this was kind of a fun way to 'stay in touch' as you can get gifts from wherever you were and send them to someone, so it was a bit like a postcard in a game.

Most places where you could pick up wifi (like starbucks) had a 'spot' so it only took a few minutes but she got a kick out of it, and was surprised how much distance woudl actually cover wandering around.

For anyone with kids into pokemon would recommend it.
