...I am going to shove this pipet into my eye socket. After removing my safety glasses, of course.
All day long I have the "opportunity" to hear the distinct trilling of cell phones when a text is received. Students receive them during lab. I hear them going off in other classrooms. Even my colleagues are in on the texting action-- I can hear one faculty's phone from 8 doors down!
My research students learned by the second text to keep their phone away while in lab. Unfortunately, I can't run around, grabbing cell phones out of hands and pockets. That would be weird. And assault, probably.
Why do people need to be notified of text messages all damn day? And why are the notification sounds so annoying? When did email stop being instant enough?
