Am I crazy or a workholic?

You know for the past couple of days I have not been well. I have the flu and even now I cant sleep due to the sneezing, stuffiness and headache so I decided to come online and do some writing. Incidentally, I passed on this flu to my boss whom it seems is having an even more difficult time handling it than me. Anyways, when I woke up the first morning and felt sick I decided not to go to work even though I was still getting dressed for work. I live five minutes walk to and from work so I finally decided to go. While walkign I felt so weak that I felt like I would fall but I remembered that if I did not go to work the office would be empty and the phones would be ringing off the hooks without anyone there to answer or to redirect the calls. I went in and decided to stay in the boss's office and not to do much work to my surprise two meetings that were scheduled for the next day had to be postponed! What if I had not gone in that day? People would have turned up for meetings including my boss which should have been rescheduled. Honestly, I love my job and I appreciate my boss who is younger than I am. She is respectful to me and because of this I find myself going all out to ensure that the office runs smoothly. She knows she can rely on me. Even though I am not a trained paralegal as yet I try my best to draft the letters so that she would atleast have something to work with. When she crosses out and adds I laugh and call them my foolish letters. Let's face it folks I am not trained in the jargons of Law so I just do it how I know best. Sometimes all she does is change around the paragraphs and rephrase what I typed and tells me that it was a good try. I feel so appreciated after workign with several older women who were unappreciative of my efforts. Am I an idiot to be doing all this?
