I think how wired we are is getting out of hand…

I'll be the first to admit that I can't go anywhere with my mobile phone/being connected but that's not right for everyone…I think it's crazy that people can require that of you!

This post isn't about one particular incident, but about the larger concept. But when there is a “growl” situation, the best solution is to hustle to get the job done–and done well.

Nothing would compound that problem more than sloppy work!

I think you are on-point with saying that a simple “Got it…workin' on it!” doesn't solve the issue, but could make the client feel loved/important.

The global economy issue is huge. Yes, Jimmy Buffet may argue that it means “it's 5 o'clock somewhere,” but that also means its 9am somewhere and those people are busting their behinds at work. It's something we HAVE to respect – just as they should respect that their work time is someone else's sleep time.

You raise a great point that being too accessible only creates more opportunity for us to be too accessible.

Is there a good way to create a sense of balance? Can we work it FAIRLY on a case-by-case basis? Definitely good food for thought!
