Are you a workaholic?

Are you obsessed with completing assignments from work?
Do you think about work when you wake up?
Do you think about how to solve problems from your project?

To answer myself:

No to the poll, because it have gotten that extreme yet.
1. I think I'm getting there.
2. Yes, especially for my current project.
3. I actually do at times.

Is it worthy?
That would be hard to answer. I value accomplishment, strongly.

I should pursue your attitude. But if feel somewhat unsatisfied (if there is such word), if my work or project did not reach my desired goal or progressed undesirably.

1. i meet my deadlines which is most important, never been late yet.

2. i refuse to let myself get to the point where you are constantly thinking about work. like mike said, once your off the clock, jobs done. i work to live, not live to work.

3. well in my line of work, problem solving is a daily chore.

with as much posting and aim chatting i do, i still give 110% when i do work (which is about 6-7 hours out of a 9 hour work day). if anything, im more worried about maintaining work load for my drafters to keep them busy.

I take my work home with me most of the time. I'm always on call.
I take no vacations because people always call.
I don't stop until the job is complete (sometimes taking 18 hour days)

yea.. I'm sort of a workaholic

I've been on I-club since 11-21-2002

Nasioc since 01

I'm sure a lot of you never met me because I was traveling for work.

I felt I used to be a workaholic before but now I have more free time because I want it that way.
