Both times I’ve replaced my phone as quickly as is humanly possible because I am just lost without it (sometimes I am literally lost without it thanks to my dependence on Google maps to get me about London!).

You’ll often find me sitting at my desk working on one thing, whilst on my phone Googling another. Whilst trying to churn out some minutes I was posed with the question by a colleague of what the dress code was of the restaurant we would be attending that evening. Like any EA/PA, I’m not averse to multi-tasking.

Sometimes I wish I had something to warn me when I am with someone with a cell phone so I can know that we are going to be interrupted. I find it frustrating when people either text while in a conversation or are constantly taking phone calls. Apparently not, when its by phone. In an emergency, the cell phone is a useful tool.

That same curiosity about new people and places, along with the desire not to be totally "ignorant of almost everything," means that I''ve logged lots of hours online researching my destinations, their history and culture, restaurants, hotels, and local attractions over the years.
