Anyone remember these things? Did you ever own one? Do you still own one?
 
I have a hospital issued one that I have on or near me 24/7 in case I have to respond to an emergency.
 
I still have mine in a drawer upstairs, though I havent used it in over 10 years

A long, long time ago...

I can still remember

How that beeper used to make me smile.

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make that pager dance

And, maybe, it'd be happy for a while.



But that pager made me shiver

With every beep it did deliver.

Bad news on the doorstep;

I couldn’t take one more step.



I can’t remember if I cried

When I found there were no more beeps inside,

But something touched me deep inside

The day my pager died.

I had one for work a couple years ago.. Then they decided to give us all cell phones. But we cant take the cell phones home or make any calls on them unless its an emergency or to another person who works for the district.



I think they have a tracking / GPS device in them so I dont take it with me when I go to lunch.



The pager was annoying though as it constantly beeped with stupid new headlines / weather updates from the service provider. I could not figure out how to turn it off.
