Since I may as well accept the fact that I might be a fucking hipster who loves old technology and gadgets even if people don't use them anymore. Even when I dress as a guy I wear a fucking fedora and thick frame glasses. When I finally go full time I have a feeling my fashion sense is still going to end up very hipsterish so I might as well just come out and admit that I am a freakin' hipster.
Anyway, should I get a beeper? Do they even make those anymore? I'm sure they still exist for some purposes, but it might be nice to get a beeper that can still text message. That seems like a way that they could continue manufacturing them. I always thought they were kind of cool.
Cell phone signals don’t necessarily reach the bowels of big concrete buildings like hospitals. Moreover, during emergencies like earthquakes, cell phone service can get overloaded. Pagers, it turns out, are far less prone to such technical problems. In fact, hospitals still cite their comparative reliability as their reason for continuing to use the technology. After all, doctors can’t afford missing important calls. Patient lives are at stake.

Clearly the work you do at Burger King, does not require a pager.
