I used to think that the day would never come

*shudder*
I actually found myself contemplating logging in to check work email.
I'm going to become one of *those* people.

Mine comes to my phone, but no one works on the weekend, so it's no big deal.

Unlike when I was working in Silicon Valley, where I was expected to be on call all the damned time.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid--ever since I started working in technology, I've been aware of how close to eight hours a day I'm working. I'm not a dick about it, and will often put in extra time when something needs to get done. But I don't pack my work computer home every night 'just in case' or 'to check a few emails in the evening'. It's like the five year plan--once I establish that I'm okay with doing that, it becomes the new 'eight hour day'. And so it goes.
