• If I want to have a coffee or lunch with other people, I actually have to pick up the phone or walk to their desk to ask.
• No more BBM-ing evil saint at 1730 to ask if can we leave for home. I have to check his calendar to see if there is a late meeting or physically go find him (if I succeed, otherwise I will just have to sit and wait).
• No more conversations with HakkaGirl to see how things are going.
• My BB does not beep anymore...
