I miss the days of being unavailable as soon as I left the house. The electronic leash is getting old

It's called voice mail. It's really not that much more of a difference from the 'good ol' days' if you don't let it be other than the positive aspects of being able to use it to your benefit. Ask anyone who knows me and I don't answer my phone often when it rings. I hate phone calls. You can text it or leave a voice mail and I'll get back to you when it's more convenient for me. If it bothers you that much just use it that way and you'll actually find that it saves you from phone calls and interactions not convenient for you.

Yeah unfortunately that doesn't work since I work in IT and am on call.

So your profession of choice requires you to answer the phone? I don't feel sorry for you. If it's that big of a deal choose a different profession. Otherwise it's how you earn a living so comes with the territory. Not trying to be rude... just trying to state the obvious I guess. If something bothers you that much... change it. Not trying to be rude or start an argument... just stating the obvious I suppose.
