I don't stop, ever. All I ever do and think about is work. If I am not working in my spare time, I'm thinking about work.

it.

never.

ends!

AND I LOVE IT!

anyone else ?

oh ya, I'm filed under work-aholic...

I work 7 days a week....some days are 12+ hours.

Sometimes I love it....sometimes I hate it...

It makes me very extreme....meaning...because I work so much, when I do have a day off, I do absolutely nothing.
I'll lay in bed til noon, watch a marathon of ice road truckers....rarely am I productive on a complete day off.

sad really.

I have been working 12 hours, 6 days a week at one job, and about 4 hours in the morning (before going in to this one) at another job. The main job is at a Chevy Dealership, and I'm the Internet Manager. I work on a very small base pay, and commission. If i'm not here, i'm not making money. I work from home on Internet sales even after i've left. Unfortunately, this store is closing today. I LOVE my job. It's a very sad day. Workaholic? most definitely. I'll take any hours i can get.

i can be... haven't been for months as my current "job" is very random with scarce hours...

but last summer and this summer i worked a ton of hours. the last couple years i've have a full load of college classes, plus a club or two, plus a couple high school classes, and for a bit of the time i also had two part time jobs... i like being busy, but i also like the option to just lay on the rocks next to the water sometimes... so i guess it's good my summer job isn't open on sundays... because it made me go do other stuff.

i'm going insane lately because i have nothing to hyperfocus on.

i am finding myself more of a workaholic now that i am single. it's as if because i have no one waiting for me at home i might as well keep working. i am not sure it is healthy, but that is how it is going for me as of late....

does anyone else feel like the workaholic thing goes in cycles? like it depends on what is going on in your personal life?

Of course. That's exactly how it was when I became newly single.

J.

I think it definitely cycles. Depends on my mood in general, but my mood is largely effected by how much work I have to do. If I don't have 5 time critical projects to complete in a week, I am bored, and I don't want to work at all. I also hate my job when I am not under stressure.

I can't focus if I only have one thing to do and its not important. Give me 5 and I'll nail all the deadlines.

I also tend to bring my work home with me, like the mind/mental/feeling stuff about it, and thats kind of bad. I think most people operate the other way - bring personal life to work.

ever since I was given an opportunity to go back to my old job, new position though, I have been crazy mad with working. only because I have my own division to deal with, my g/f is the C.O.O. of the company, so considering she used to be my boss, I know all the ins and outs of running that side of the business as well. so not only do I have my own daily things to contend with, I help her out when she gets in the weeds with something. posting ads, re-pricing, etc... I do adore it though.
It's also easier that I work from home now. I do tend to get out to the main store about once a week or so, which keeps me in tune with helping her on whats in current inventory. the other three stores are kinda on their own, but I do help with pricing in those other locations. it's fun, I enjoy it, keeps me paid and occupied. all good.
