Dysfunctional workaholic

Workaholics aren’t heroes. They don’t save the day, they just use it up. The real hero is already home because she figured out a faster way to get things done.

From Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeir Hansson.

Hello. My name is Bill. I’ve successfully not been a workaholic for about ten years now.

In my defence I should say the last time I made the mistake of putting work before real life it was when I worked for a company with unrealistic expectations. I won’t do that again.
