A speaker describes two professional personas: an engineer at work and an administrator at home. They claim weekends are off-limits but still handle invoicing, Xero accounting, and quotes from home, unable to do these tasks while in the van.
It's almost like I have two personalities, and one is I'm the engineer right now, and the other one is, oh, I'm at home, now I can become the administration person. On a weekend, even though it's my hard boundary, but it's not my hard boundary when it comes to invoicing and updating the Xero for my accountancy software. So I update that, or I put quotes out, I get back to people. I find that when I'm not on the tools and I'm at home, I can just sort of, it's not something I feel that I can do in the van. So yeah, I lied a little bit to you when I said that that was my hard boundary, but that meant just on the tools.
