Monday Monday

Monday is the traditional beginning of the work week. Today's economy calls for a 24/7/365 "on" button. What does this mean for the way we tend to our business that isn't "business" or for which we aren't paid? For whom does the hourly rate apply and at what point will it invade all of our lives? Complaining customers can be put on hold. Does the same hold true for feeble elderly, crying children, and other dependents that don't have an on/off switch?
