Why it’s no longer rude to use your cellphone in a business meeting
If your boss says text messaging during a meeting is rude, tell him that so is coughing on the donuts.
For thousands of working people, finding time to sneak out during a meeting to phone their doctors for appointments is nearly impossible. Deadlines are looming, and projects are moving – fast. The only thing slowing them down is a sick or injured you.
A Westmoreland County-based health system has launched a first-of-its-kind way to make a doctor’s appointment with a primary-care provider or specialist – and you can do it via text.
