It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in my makeshift office logging into the internet to check my jeremyenke@aol.com email. The worst part is that we didn't have a phone hook up in that office (spare bedroom), so I had a phone line running across the house that I would have to plug into the back of my computer every night. If someone paged me on my beeper, I would have to disconnect from the world wide web to call them...... this was post cell phone era. Having a beeper was playaaaa.
Fast forward 9 years later. Now I can download files, check email, get text messages, BB messages, and generally run my entire business from the little piece of crack cocaine I keep in my pocket. Oh wait, it's actually a blackberry curve. My wife and the wives of many other CEO's and internet marketers would have you believing however that there really is crack inside these things.
It's not so much that blackberries are addicting, it's just the simple fact that you can be connected in so many ways. I can empathize with my wife though when she says she wants to throw my blackberry out the window. I do spend way to much time on the damn thing. It's so hard not to however when you truly love your job and love what you do.
I genuinely get excited when I get new emails or BB messages, even if it is after hours. Oh wait, I am an internet marketer, there's no such thing as "after hours"!
I suppose it would be easier if my wife was on the internet 10% as much as me, or ran her own internet business. She pretty much only logs on once or twice a day to check her yahoo mail or facebook.
So with all that, I have come to the conclusion that wives and blackberries will just never see eye to eye. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
