Single's Habit

There are good habits, bad habits, and then there are single's habits.

One of my worst habit of all as a thirty-something single is that I try getting rid of anything that makes me lonely.

Just like most people I know of, I also carry a cell phone, but with very few incoming calls. Most calls are work-related, but none urgent that I couldn't do it without cell phone or wait until I get home.

Also, my students sometimes misuse the system and call me at the last minute to miss a rehearsal or two. Don't like that very much! They could use text-messages instead if they need to find me at the last minute, but it limits their ability to pursue me with manipulative last-minute excuses. No need to raise my voice over the phone to get them in while I am shuffling around to get myself ready for the rehearsals.

By getting rid of(?) my cell phone, I could kills several birds in one stone.
One less big bill to pay each month, no annoying calls that interrupt my schedule, and most of all, eliminate another evil that makes me lonely. Whether or not to kick this habit is still in debate!
