" During a lull in a staff meeting, I used my electronic planner to enter some doctors&amp;#039; appointments and check over my grocery list. A coworker later told me I&amp;#039;d been rude. Did I do wrong? Unless that &amp;quot;lull&amp;quot; was an official break, during which colleagues were also leaving the room, making phone calls, etc., you shouldn&amp;#039;t have flipped open your PDA. A tap on a handheld device is okay if it&amp;#039;s related to the business at hand. But inputting personal business not only is unprofessional, it sends your associates a message: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not as interesting as what&amp;#039;s in this Palm Pilot.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
