[quote=Anonymous]I always have my phone with me at meetings. My colleagues all know that I am the first line of defense for my kids, if something happens at school or daycare. I have to be available to take a call b/c my DH is in a job where he is not reachable. If I'm in a meeting with clients or others, I usually quickly explain why I have my phone out. If the meeting is small and I am an active participant, I don't check emails or get on the web, unless I am looking something up relevant to the conversation. If it's a larger meeting, like a general staff meeting, and it's all stuff I've heard before or is off-topic for me, I will usually check emails. But I don't respond unless it's something urgent. I just read them quickly. I think it's a generational thing, yes. But I also think it's a context thing and I think we all need to be aware that there are others who may be offended and that we may need to alter our behavior accordingly.[/quote]
