> [@JayS](#): > > I’ve watch people ruin their lives letting work become a 7am to 11pm gig every day because of stupid mobile email. Oh yea, I know exactly what you mean. There is a guy here I work with that is rediculous, its gotten so bad he will stop talking mid sentence to check an email. Dude hasnt taken a vacation since like '01 because he is afraid of work building up. it ruined his marriage, he was married for like 12 years or something. its kinda sad. ---

I am actually switching over from my company phone, to a reimbursment plan. They will cover up to $50/month. That is basically the whole cost my plan(no net/mail). ---

yes, when you have people in so many different countries that work their days(our nights) you need to be able to communicate somehow if there’s an issue. But I try to keep that to a minimum personally. My boss on the otherhand…almost every day I wake up to emails from him, sent anywhere from 12am-5am. He’s crazy like that. ---

Blackberry provided by work (ported personal number to it) BES server with 100 or so Blackberries, our Blackberries/email are the heart of communication in our company, they are mandatory. \<3 saving 100/mo. on cell bill. Can’t just ignore when shit breaks on critical environments… ---

having ACCESS to email and being obligated to respond are 2 different things, it’s all about striking a balance and self-control ---
