I've been work obsessed for so long... it's such a part of who I am - I am my career... that I have a tough time understanding people who don't feel that way... I really don't get it- and perhaps it's because they're not doing something they enjoy or what...

There's a quote from a television show about alcoholism - where the character, who was an alcoholic, mused that he didn't understand how people could leave half a glass of wine on the table, or how they couldn't not finish an entire bottle of scotch, basically drink until you were drunk... I tend to feel that way - except not with booze but with work... I don't understand how people can leave with work still to be done... and not enjoy it...
