That doesn't mean I don't still get the occasionally drop in though. One of the things I do to help avoid the Skype issue is to have multiple accounts on my IMs and Skype. My clients get my professional Skype or AIM name and friends and family etc get my play name. That way I can be logged on on the weekends or during my time off and not have to worry about getting put to work during off hours. Your point about working more hours when you work from home is right. It is very hard to walk out of your home office and actually stay out of it when you are off duty. I highly recommend having a dedicated home office, it does help somewhat, but that is not always possible.

The lines have blurred so much between my work life, home life, daughter's school... I no longer differentiate. Everything is just always on one giant to-do list. Boundaries? What are those?
