So how many workaholics we got around here ?

 

[mpitts]

I don't work because I want to.

Simply work when you don't have to. Or... the fact that you would do it for next to nothing because you love it so much.

 

[Corporate Thug]

for anything it would be the latter

"Simply work when you don't have to" -- That can be simply dediction to your job though, I don't agree that's a sign of being a workaholic...

Considering that I work 7 days a week and have no life of my own, I live to work

Then what would your definition be ? If you WANT to work when not required (or paid) to... that's a good sign for me. Along the lines of having an addiction.

Working longer hours while not wanting to is not a workaholic... getting things done because you're SUPPOSED to doesn't mean you have this urge to always work. That would fall under work-to-live.

When I start doing what I like, sure, probably. Right now I work because I have to. Don't hate my job though, lots of fun and good money.

 

[StageLeft]

Work to live. I don't do overtime, and my job isn't, and never will be, my life.

Meh.. go to work to make money so I can enjoy life and take naps and relax.

I feel bad for my friends who work 12 hour days and have no free time and never get weekends off. To me its more important to have free time then it is to work all day long.
