Oh you neeeeed a cellphone that the company doesn't provide, won't allow you to use on company property or time, will most likely get you written up or fired for using? You mean that cell phone? I guess you can't use your computer to check how many times out you are and the company can't reach you at your house phone or motel phone. Glad I'm not a slave like you.
