Workaholic
Wikipedia defines a workaholic as a person addicted to work. This addiction may be pleasurable to the victim or it may be burdensome and troubling.
I think a person can be a workaholic without actually being addicted to it. I think that loyalty to your peers, company, and ego can put you in a mode that has the appearance of workaholism. So, in my opinion, if what I am doing now is not an addiction, then where do I draw the line?
Several months ago (November 12), I posted Sleep Work Sleep Work and thought, naively, at that time that I would only see another month of it.
That's it. Nothing else. I just wanted to publicly acknowledge that I was wrong. Maybe several months from now I'll re-read this post and decide to draw a line. I hope so.
