I was just on my way out yesterday when a co-worker asked for help because his vendors were having trouble accessing something remotely:

Me: Can they wait till tomorrow or do they need it right this moment?
Co-worker: silly girl … of course they need it right away … in fact they wanted it an hour ago
they called me 5 minutes before they were starting a test

it is normal situation... :)
i spent an hour on Friday creating re-writes for new pages to be ready on Monday...
at 8:30am on Monday client sends a request to build two more to be ready by 9am - some campaign goes on TV and Radio... Was it new? :( maybe she had no idea about this campaign on Friday? :( do not believe it...
BTW, we all live about an hour drive from the office, so in between 8 and 9am we are on the road...

At least you are on the way to the office, most of the time between 8 and 9am I am still asleep :)

Lucky you!!!
Still there is no chance that one of us would read this email, not mentioning implementing it before 9am... :)

Don't some people get e-mails on their phones? Of course then you can configure an automatic notification for your clients that every time they sent a request between 8 and 9am they kill one of your workers. Could even include one of those social awareness videos about the dangers of texting and driving to emphasize the point ;)

We do not have access in underground areas of subway :(
we are not allowed to check email while driving :(
so client CAN send an email, we just CANNOT react :)
but i LOVE your idea in general ;)
