I've taken calls while on vacation in France, worked weekends, late nights, you name it. </p> <p>I had remote access, so I could access my full desktop from anywhere I had internet access. I never accessed emails on my personal phone, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-142028 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 08:30:11 +0000 lavender 142028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, an advantage of working as a hygienist. Once I'm done for the day, I'm done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140670 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:20:10 +0000 Minnie_Girl 140670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home, so there's not a big work/home separation. They definitely blur together. That's not a problem for me though, because I LOVE my job and would be doing the same things in my spare time anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140646 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:56:39 +0000 meaganceleste 140646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have email on my phone and I'll sometimes check it during the evenings/weekends, but I RARELY act on anything I see until I get to work the next day. I used to work in public accounting and I felt like I could never get away from work, so now I keep my distance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140644 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:55:58 +0000 mrbee 140644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work truly never ends. Sometimes I will put Charlie down on his toddler bed, and while he's still drifting off... I will be postathoning under the covers next to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140640 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:51:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 140640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! With my emails popping up on my phone it's nearly impossible not to check it when I see the notifications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140201 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:48:33 +0000 pelikila 140201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggle with leaving work at the office. It is a perpetual work in progress for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-140176 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:38:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 140176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Work gave me an iphone a couple years ago so "I'm always connected in case of an emergency." I have made it very clear that unless I'm on call I will not be responding to emails that aren't emergencies during my home time. Nothing I do is really all that pressing, so this doesn't happen often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139994 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:41:56 +0000 Alivoo01 139994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, once I leave the office for the day, I leave it there unless I'm expecting something important. If I go on vacation, I try to, but will occasionally check emails to stay on top of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139565 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:17:58 +0000 mrsjyw 139565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to, but def habit of checking email on Sun nights or the day before I have to go back after a vacation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139403 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:47:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 139403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to be good about it, but with Outlook straight to my phone, it's a lost cause. In fact, I'm doing a national presentation this weekend so I'll be working on it with Mr. Jacks tonight. I feel like my work NEVER ends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139386 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:43:05 +0000 Andrea 139386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, thanks to a little device called the Blackberry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139314 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:22:08 +0000 chopsuey 139314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. When I was working, I left work at the office and didn't think about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-parents-can-you-leave-work-at-the-office#post-139306 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:19:12 +0000 mediagirl 139306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a hard time leaving work at the office since my email is on my phone and my computer. Blergh. I wish I could turn it off but I just can't!</p> <p>Can you leave work at the office (no matter if that office is at home or out of the house somewhere)? </p>
