Karla L．Miller w rites a Washington Post ad v ice column (专栏) on finding your w ay around the modern w orkplace.Each w eek she w ill ans w er one or t w o questions from readers.
Question：I'm Sam.I work part-time, paid hourly.There are only two employees: me and my boss.I receive no paid holidays or sick time, no health insurance, and one week's paid vacation.For me, this job is just a job, and the salary I earn doesn't guarantee a 24/7 on-call mentality.
From almost the beginning, my boss has freely called me at home, called my personal cell phone, and emailed my personal account during my off-hours and vacation.
Five years later，it's still happening despite my having politely asked her several times not to contact me during my non-working hours.
Each time I ask, she apologizes and stops for a while, but always goes back to the behavior.I never take her phone calls on my cell, but she hasn't got my point.
The point is, it is never anything that can't wait until the next business day! I am ready to lose it.
Answer：If it won't cost you your job, call block and email filters (过滤器) are one easy path to inner peace.
It puzzles me that your boss seems to agree she's_out_of_bounds,_but then continues to contact you.
Either she occasionally gets enough response from you to make it worth trying, or she can't help firing off questions on impulse (一时冲动)．
You could ask her, once and for all, whether she's OK with waiting for responses—in which case her after-hours calls and emails will be answered the next business day—or whether she wants instant answers—in which case, you will be tracking the time you spend responding so you can be paid for it.

For more than 10 years, the “SAS Survival Guide，” a book about outdoor tips by John “Lofty” Wiseman, has been a necessity in my camping backpack.The 400-page handbook usually comes with me on camping trips and has helped me search for food or use the sun and stars to find my way.But whenever I fly, I leave the
book behind.However, what would happen if my plane crashed on a deserted island? Could I possibly create shelter from whale bones without this guide?
But no fear: the “SAS Survival Guide” comes in an app (应用程度) and it's every bit as terrific as the book.
The user-friendly app includes guidelines from the book, and then some.There are tips for building a fire, treating a snake bite and searching for mushrooms.The first aid guide includes instructions for saving yourself if you are choking.And there are warnings：If you happen to kill a polar bear, Wiseman warns, do not eat the liver (内脏), because it contains deadly amounts of vitamin A.
Sixteen videos show Wiseman teaching survival techniques, including one in which he kills a chicken.“Save the feathers.They can be useful for insulating (绝缘) clothing，” he advises.But don't worry, no chickens were harmed in the testing of this app.
In other videos, Wiseman shows how to build shelter from plants with feathery green leaves, how to obtain drinkable water with a bag and how to construct a house from blocks of hard snow or ice.
There is room for improvement.Step-by-step videos would be more helpful than a series of pictures showing various knot (结) types.And the search function is complicated.On a recent camping trip, I ran across a black bear.Backing away, I searched the app for “bear，”which gave me more than 50 hits, including “bearings.” Worried the bear would attack me as I looked through the results, I instead made a wide arc (弧)around her along the bank of a river.Fortunately, this was the right course, I later learned.
Still, it's a helpful app.If only Wiseman had tips on keeping a cell phone's battery life in the wilderness.
