CNN.com has an article today called Welcome to the 'weisure' lifestyle. It's about the balance between work and life (leisure in the article)... or the lack thereof more precisely. It's not that people are becoming increasingly chained to their desk at the office but more of their desk is becoming chained to them in life - where ever one goes. It's the Blackberry, iPhone, and other forms of mobile communication that make this possible.
Is this bad? The old dogs might say this is a travesty but personally, I'm digging it. I'm in this category of working while playing. Why? Because it's so darn easy! If I can answer a few emails over the weekend from my phone I have that much less to do during the dreaded Monday morning and the ball keeps rolling instead of coming to a dead halt. Of course, I've an advantage because I love what I do. If you're not passionate about your job then this probably isn't for you. Then again if it's passion you lack go find a new job right now.
