At work, Dad will operate on a 24-hour week day.

Dad is so hooked up with the laptop, pager, and cell phone that he can't get away from work.

My very same thought. By lunchtime Wednesday I've always worked more that 24 hours, In fact usually by dinnertime Tuesday. I'm not complaining, but it tends to wear on you when you are going in for that 27th straight Saturday in a row. And thanks (in part) to unions and the efficiency of government, my commute takes 1.6 hours per day and costs more like $3.00 per mile.
