	I wouldn’t like it one bit. My life doesn’t stop on weekends or holidays and I expect there to be good news reports on weekends and holidays.

	 

	One of the things I loved about working in radio back in the 70’s was that it was always there and it was always “open”. The stations ran 24/7. I could work anytime and usually did. But if I wanted to finish something important, I could go in on a Saturday or Sunday or holiday, and yes, the phones were quiet and there weren’t a lot of people around so I could really dig in and get some work done, whether it was finishing a production room or using the room I had built to put out a special news project. 

	 

	That’s what I love about the Internet—it doesn’t matter it’s Tuesday or Sunday, I can still work. The bonus is that I’m at home, at my desk and available if Joe wants to know what I want for dinner or if the roses need pruning. Between the Internet and my cellphone, I can do what I love to do and still be with my family. Where was this stuff 30 years ago? Do you think these kids realize what they’ve got with all this technology?

	Adrienne

	Adrienne - I simply explain it with a question - 
	How would you feel if Radio and TV stations only operated Monday thru Friday 8 to 5...or, if they worked 3 shifts, they were off the air on weekends.   You get this funny look.  If they still don't get it - Add things like their supplier of electricity, gas etc.    

	 

	People, generally, measure the rest of the world based on what they do

		I get that—I could just never explain to my family why I was working on what was supposed to be a day off!
