Do You Work To Live Or Live To Work?
8 January 2008
I'm the sort of person who gets bored easily and has trouble filling in free time. While I have hobbies, I can't make these take up my whole weekend. The hobbies end up becoming monotonous if I do them for too long. As a result, I often end up accepting overtime at work, just for something to do.
I am turning in to one of those people who lives to work. My boss has just phoned me and offered my overtime tomorrow, which was supposed to be my day off. I accepted it. I'm turning out like one of my old bosses. He worked 364 days a year. His wife insisted that he take Christmas Day off - and even then he would often go in to work in the afternoon. I know this isn't healthy. I have to start thinking of other ways to fill in my time - that should keep me occupied for a while!
