Pagers

If you remember the early 90’s anybody that was anyone had a pager.  Pager stores were popping up everywhere; such luxuries were no longer considered only for doctors.  15 years later while the rest of the world has moved on to cell phones, the Shitshow is still issuing pagers. 

When a new employee comes to the Shitshow they are automatically issued a pager, after all you never know when you’ll need to read a new hire to urgently update the Wiki (see Wiki, wiki, wiki).  New hires carry these pagers around like badges of honor while senior engineers usually keep their pagers in their desk drawer without a battery in it.    

Every time I go to a comedy club I’m reminded of how outdated these devices are when the emcee usually says something along the lines of “please no flash photography, if you have your cell phone on please turn it to silent mode or off, if you have a pager please enter the 21^st century.”

Because when I need to talk to someone I need to wait for them to call me back, I throw rocks.
