One of my favorite things about what I do for a living is that there is no certainty that, at any hour of any day, I could get a phone call that could change everything. Good or bad. I never know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My life is scheduled to the minute. I used to be notoriously hard to get a hold of. But now, it would be irresponsible for me to say, 'I'm not checking my phone.'
I've been largely undecided about everything for most of my life. I can barely commit to a phone bill... Somewhere along the line it has become my career due to continuing work.
If you work at home, you're always on call in a way.
I was working at a phone company. I got tired of my life and wanted to change it, so I did.
You reach a point in your career when the weeks turn into a month or more of the phone not ringing.
One thing that I tell people all the time is, 'I'm not going to answer a call from you after nine o'clock at night or before nine o'clock in the morning unless it's an emergency.'
I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.
I don't do things lightly; I don't take a job then just phone it in - I've never done that.
I do some kind of work, whether writing or painting or recording, on a daily basis. And it's so essential that when I'm involved in the actual process, my so-called 'real life' becomes almost incidental, which becomes worrying.
I'm terrified of missing my call time. I'll check my alarm several times before I fall asleep.
