It took a message on my wrist in a meeting to make me fix this properly

- Experience
- Seven years, two arrangements, one of them ongoing.
- Around
- out by the ring, Amsterdam
I had done all the obvious things. App renamed, folder, no previews, sound off. What I had not thought about was that everything on my phone also arrives on my wrist, and one afternoon in a room with eleven colleagues a message appeared on my arm in a font large enough to read from the next chair. Nothing happened. Nobody saw. I spent the rest of that meeting with my sleeve pulled down like somebody in a bad film, and I went home and turned the whole thing off properly.
Thirty nine, out by the ring, switch, seven years in. Two arrangements, one of which is ongoing and takes one evening a fortnight.
I mention it because discretion is usually discussed as a matter of principle and it is almost entirely a matter of settings. The people I know who have been caught out were not careless in any moral sense. They had a device they had forgotten was connected to a device.
What I want is a second arrangement running the other way, with somebody who understands that my phone is deliberately slow and that this is not a comment on them.
Not looking for anybody who needs quick replies. Not looking for a person who wants to be added anywhere. Not looking to explain the settings again.
