It seems the work/life balance thing is blending togather. So yes, I think the 24/7 schedule will be just part of our lives.Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579284890902840419.post-8345027474564076962009-05-15T09:30:00.000-05:002009-05-15T09:30:00.000-05:00David,

But I couldn't seem to turn it off, no matter how many times my family said, "You're working too much!" It finally became a matter of not liking who I was becoming. Now I have parameters in place and if I go past them, I tell someone close to me, and then let them yell at me. :) It is very tough to turn it off when technology puts work at your fingertips 24/7.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673125042097858304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579284890902840419.post-55154799812686703202009-05-14T09:23:00.000-05:002009-05-14T09:23:00.000-05:00Great topic and list you've put together.

There is no question that many companies have asked more from their employees during this economic turmoil. <br /><br />If you love your job, these added demands probably don't seem so bad. If you don't like your job, it might put you over the edge.<br /><br />What is most important is to have a balance no matter what the situation. Trying to leave work at work may be easier said than done but important to do.David Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490853066041247173noreply@blogger.com
