On All The Time?

Stella tries to work regular hours -- generally speaking my standard is if they're working in the real office, I'm working here. I think it's important that my colleagues never have to think about what time it is here, they just pick up the phone and call me. And I answer.

Or email back. Or whatever.

But what about after hours? Do I have an obligation to be available as much as possible? I am of two minds about this. Part of me says, "Yes, I need to do what needs to be done, whenever that is." And part of me says, "I need to draw the line somewhere."

The folks at ITBusinessEdge are wondering the same thing. What do you think?
