I use JMP.chat too...exclusively.  :)  BUT jmp.chat only works when you
have wifi.  And sometimes I would like to be at the downtown park, which
doesn't have wifi...if work called me then, I would not be available.
Since I get called if someone doesn't show up for a shift...that won't
quite work for me.

However, when SpaceX gets their satellite internet going...that may be
an option for me.
