In the last few years I have really tried to focus on my hobbies outside of work. I have a 2nd cell phone and use the do not disturb feature each evening on my work phone. Unfortunately our clients use their systems at night and on weekend when we are "not working" and this makes our profession very difficult at times.

Luckily when I call a client back I usually tell them right away I was out hiking or snowboarding and they seem to taper back their frustrations. I also refuse to apologize or feel bad when technology outside of our realm fails. If they want to use a device we do not support my apathy goes away quickly.

At the end of the day we play with toys for a living. If it is really an emergency why are you not calling 911.
