I call my husband at work sometimes just to say hi or tell him about my day.
My husband can't talk on his cell phone at work, but he can take my call on the direct line. We can't talk long, but we just say hi, what's up etc..Sometimes he calls me too if he gets a chance, but he works retail so is usually pretty busy.
Do you bees call your men at work? :)
Definitely - both of our jobs are pretty relaxed about personal calls, so he'll usually give me a call at lunch (if I don't call him first) and when he's headed home (which is around 4ish). I will call him when I have fun stuff to tell him or just when I want to hear his voice...sigh :o)
I call him on his cell all the time when he's at work. I also talk to him online... and in an emergency I'll call him on his work line. I don't like to do that because then I have to go through his secretary & I think it makes him look less professional by receiving personal calls.
FI calls me at work a lot. He also gets a little excitable and forgets I can't talk to him for hours on end - I hate having to cut him off, but I'm at the office! haha We talk on the phone 4-5 times a day though.
We very, very rarely call each other (usually, it’s an emergency) but we text each other all day long.
Both of us keep our private lives really private at work, (and both work in pretty quiet offices, so co-workers can hear us easily) so we don’t like to talk over the phone…so we keep our lovey-dovey talk on the DL via text!
He is the manager of a call center so it's better that I call his office line than his cell... it looks like he is still working that way!
I will call his cell if I REALLY need to talk to him. Otherwise we email each other. If I am at work (I work part time) I am with patients and there is really no way I can talk. Some days I don't even have time to check my email. We do call each other on our way home to see who is closer and will get the kids.
We usually use gchat to talk, but I'll call him once in a while and so will he.
he usually calls me with his cell when he's on break or we usually talk on aim since that's what he uses at his job. i rarely call him on his cell unless it's an emergency. i don't even know what his work number is.
Step 1 is email.
Step 2 is cell phone calls.
Step 3 is work line.
It depends on how quickly we need an answer.
FI works in a kitchen so it is rare for him to be able to answer his phone during service. Sometimes I will call his cell and leave him a message if it's something that he needs to know before he comes home or if I need him to call me back on his break. Otherwise, I just wait until he gets home.
We text throughout the day. We call each other much less. In fact, the only time we try to call is if either one of us doesn't have our cells. We'll call the office. But he works in court so if I'm calling him and he's standing on a case, he obviously can't talk to me!
I might be the only one but I NEVER call my SO while he is at work. He's usually crazy busy and I would feel like I'm bothering him. If there's something I want to let him know I'll usually send him a quick email because he can read it when he has the chance and I'm not interrupting him with a phone call. Very rarely I will call him on his cell if it's getting late and he's not home yet.... Just a what time will you be home so I know what to do about dinner type thing. (My work day ends at 5:30, his days are very erratic and sometimes he doesn't come home til 8) And he deff doesn't call me. I think if he called me while I was work I would be VERY concerned that something was wrong!!
we talk on gchat on and off all day. he gets home before i do, so sometimes he calls on his way home or when he gets home to discuss evening/dinner plans
I will call his cell only if I have something of absolute, time-sensitive importance to tell him, or if it has something to do with one of our well-being (on very snowy days I'll call him to let him know I've left the office - I have a long commute - or to ask him which roads might be best to drive home). Other than that, we only email. We both work desk jobs, so we are both staring at our inboxes all day :)
We email all day and sometimes call each other to discuss who is going to the grocery store, what to buy, etc. It is totally equal though and since I started my new job usually him calling me since I'm so busy!
I call him on his cell phone very rarely, email maybe a bit more. We both have jobs that can be chaotic, and my employer monitors all internet access. 99% of the time its something that could wait until after work anyway.
Sometimes - - usually we message on gchat...I like to call him to check in on his day, and I like when he calls me. I always call on days I know he has a client meeting or something along those lines.....
We never really call just to chat. We do email usually a few times/day to chat if we have time. I do call him though if I need to tell him something.
We text pretty frequently...depending on how busy we are. We talk towards the end of the day to figure out when we will each be done/home.
We worked for the same company when we were first together/engaged and then we talked a lot more on the store-to-store company line ;)
We mostly email each other a lot, but sometimes when there's something important and/or urgent we call each other.
We only call each other if there is an issue to resolve. Usually text sporadically through the day. I will call sometimes when I'm leaving the office b/c i'm wondering what he's up to and whether I should start dinner. but really, neither of us likes talking on the phone, and he talks all day for his job. He usually has 2 conference calls - one in each ear. but he can still text me ;)
Only on his cell.
Personal calls on a office line are pet peeves of mine. It drives me crazy that there are only X office lines and almost everyone has a cell but a wife will tie up a office line.
If the office policy is no cell phone calls, that's a different story.
@SweetAdeline - I have the exact same problem. I can (and do) e-mail with FI all the time, and I think that makes it difficult for him to remember that my office doesn't necessarily like us to be on personal calls.
hes at school (& clinic) all day so no we usually don't talk at all during the day. Sometimes we'll call each other's cell phones but only ifs something is going on.
or on occasion he'll text me when hes bored. Otherwise we talk at home :D
We email mostly, but chat on the phone maybe 1-3 days per week. I also call him sometimes on my way home from work to ask what he wants for dinner. :)
We usually e-mail. We have e-mail notifications on our phones, so if it starts to blink, we know to check our e-mails :) Our offices are accepting of personal calls if they're emergencies, but I'm pretty sure my boss would have a talk with me if I was caught talking on the phone "just to say hi" with anyone, including the hubs. But that's also because we work in an open office, and it's distracting. We're encourages to leave and use cell phones, if need be.
We e-mail quite frequently, though. I'd say probably at least twice a day.
When we were wedding planning last year, we ended up calling each other a lot, though. either to vent about family drama, or to make quick decisions about menus and stuff.
We work together, so we talk on the phone, over email, over text, over IM, and in person all day. :) I don't think an hour goes by that I don't hear from him, lol.
We talk mostly by IM when we are at work. I send him little messages with sweet nothings.
We email or text. A phone call is ok if it's quick and important. Like "hey what do you want from the store?" or "will you pick up my Rx at Walgreens?" but a social chat just isn't professional. Plus--if we talk on the phone, we'll not have anything to talk about when we have dinner!! However, email and texting is totally acceptable! =]
I only call my FI if there is an emergency, but he always calls me when he leaves work to see if I need him to bring anything home. We beleive that work is work and personal time is after work.
We both call each other on cell probably once a day total (sometimes he'll call me, sometimes I'll call him) and we blackberry message a few times a day. We both work long hours and can take calls at work...he's usually on the run and I have my own office so it is acceptable. He works in a hospital and I have billable hours, so the calls are usually quick. They are usually just to check in and see how the day is going, and towards the end of the day to see what time the other will be home (our schedules are both pretty unpredictable so we need to coordinate...) and regarding dinner plans.
I'm the one who works - he's either in class or working from home. We generally only call each other on our cells if there's something fairly pressing to talk about, like big news or needing to know if I have to get something for him on my way home.
I have called him once while he was at work and that was only because I went outside to leave for work and notice someone tipped his motorcycle over so I was like uhmmm I think this is important. Honestly we'd prefer to talk when we got home over dinner together. He makes fun of a guy in his group at work whose wife calls 3-5 times a day....we tend to think things can wait till we're home :)
FI usually calls me twice a day, once around 9am and once mid-afternoon just to check in. I let him call since he can reach me directly, but if I call him I have to speak to his assistant which is super awkward. I feel like *that* fiance calling, and I never know whether to say my last name. Does his assistant recognize my voice? Roll eyes hat I'm calling *again*?? I'm too paranoid about it, so I just wait till he calls me unless it's SUPER SUPER important. Otherwise we email a lot through out the the day and IM if we need an immediate quick y/n type response.
We text throughout the day, call if its something longer or immediate that needs an answer. He's a mechanic so sometimes he can't get back to me right away, so normall we just text and get back to each other when we can
I only ever call if its an emergency.
He works in an industrial area so if we text its only during lunch or his break. we live together so there is usually nothing that cant wait until we get home.
I call him at work all the time. he's a writer and has inconsistent hours, plus he NEVER answers his cell, so I call him at work in the afternoon to see what's going on and if he'll be home for dinner. He gets in anywhere between 7-8 and 12:30 am, and only sometimes can make a dinner break. It would make me crazy to have no idea!
