12 hour work days are incredibly fulfilling for me. I enjoy working a few hours on weekend mornings as well. Heck, I wish my body would let me work from 4 am to midnight every single day. That would be my ideal - my mind never tiring, my body never breaking, no risk of repetitive stress injuries and ultimate immunity to disease or illness. But alas, I am human.

I prefer vacations lasting precisely 2 weeks. Any more and I start worrying about my plants.
I remember in junior high, when I really started loving school, I became frustrated with weekends. I did not understand why they existed. I wanted to wake up the same time every day, and experience that structured learning environment. I found such fulfillment with tests and assignments. I guess it's no wonder that I am now a graduate student.

Yet I do have a dream of "retiring" early and living a self-sufficient family-centered lifestyle. Owning our property outright and spending every second of every day focused on creating a nurturing environment in the home, and the community. Growing our own food, running a small farm selling seasonal fruits and vegetables, keeping my own hydroponic greenhouse with tomatoes all through the snowy winters... In this scenario, my work-aholic nature would be exercised with a labor-intensive home.
