are you married to your job?  

Hmmmmm
what a definiation
when i joined Job, and in textiles export and in Marketing
i was like that, rather more like that
12-14 hours daily work. and will u believe in dreams i was despatching and checking samples

then i said to myself, what am i doing, then i control it, but it never means i miss my targets

Take care

Yeah I love work but no never married to it.
In my personal opinion any one who always says IVE GOT WORK is simply not organized.

Good advice and some useful thoughts by you by workaholic.
I do not fall into this category. I try my best to dispose of my work, as soon as it is assigned to me. I do not believe in keeping anything pending with me, irrespective of the fact,whether it is important or otherwise. I do value my social liabilities and relations very much and I do attend social gatherings and do not forget to wish birthdays and anniversaries to my near and dear ones.

Goodness! That describes me a few years ago. Then I started a family and my priorities changed. I think it's definitely for the better. Whoever once said that "we should work to live, not live to work" was right!

i'm definitely not married to my job. i do whatever work my boss gives me but i'll not miss functions because of work. my boss is quite understanding about it as well so there will never be too much work. i treasure my family much more than my job. to me, i can always find another job but i'll never have another family. i believe that a job is something that pays the bills. i get my satisfaction and happiness from my family. cheers ;p

i was my own boss soi ushed ny self even harder. all those things you mentioned tho i did. i am now paying for it w/bad health. stop & smell the roses. i was a hairdresser & all those people i accodated for 48 years don't even know i exist anymore since i can't do their hair anymore. i hear from 2 or 3 on a regular basis but that's it.

till now not. may be at working time, i am very serious to do my jobs. but at times, when i need to take rest from it, i do. on weekends i try not to think so much about job.it can really cause problem in many ways.

hmmmmm... maybe... i do love working but i make it to a point that nobody from my family will be affected. it's just by merely knowing what your limitations are.

I work for my husband for 18 years now. In the beginning I used to sleep with the business phone by my bed so that I wouldn't miss a call. Yes I was always working. We always talked business and I never seemed to leave the job. After some years it started to catch up to me. I learned how to "turn it off" in my mind. I would refuse to talk work after a certain time. At first it took that dedication to get the company going. When I realized we were ok and I didn't need to eat, sleep, and breathe work, self control was the answer to my workaholic state!

o.0 i am making sure that i will not to get that stage. my hubby is my priority... i always make sure that i will leave our shop at this time so i cant go home and have lunch with him and then have coffee afterwards. he is always 1st in my list.
