Indebted to dect phones

If you like gizmos, you’ll love what you can get to go about your everyday business nowadays.  Time was when you just got to use bic biros and a pencil sharpener – and one of those plastic tube things to shuffle your paper clips around. But now you have the chance to pick and choose from a bewildering range of telephones.

I guess if you work for as company, you don’t have much say in your choice of telephone systems for business. But if, like me, you work for yourself – the world is your oyster.  You may even feel that you might want to change your BT phone.  After all – there are plenty more to choose from.

I particularly like the pone system that lets you give off the pretence that you have an office – and then divert to your mobile.  Then it is only the fact that mobiles are not supposed to be used on the golf course that may give you away.

So the first thing you should do when you  have a say in what telephones you can use – and buy is find a site where you can look wistfully and even buy digital dect cordless phones. Just imagine – never again need you be tied to your desk by a phone with a cord on it.  Isn’t progress wonderful?

In fact the only thing I do not like about business telephones is that most of the calls you get are ones you do not want to get.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could simply get on with doing your job?  But no, thanks to the telephone, now you can be interrupted at any time of day by some hopeful trying to sell you something.

Some days the calls just go on and on.  It’s very difficult to stay polite.  I remind myself that the nuisance caller is simply doing their job – but I suspect being rude would be better for my sanity.
