A person who is adicted to office work is known as a workoholic. I was so in my previous job. Even now some complaint that I too much dedicates my time to the job.
What about you? Do you think it is good to be workoholic?

hi! i am, i am workaholic. :) i have mild insomnia (but i still do sleep, specially when i need one), and i have two jobs. but i still have too much time left each day. its not like work is the only thing i do. i do the chores here in my apartment, i cook for me and my sister. i also have time to get into some discussions here in mylot, which my one of my ways of freshening up my mind. also, i have a lot of hobbies and i have time for those.
my friends would usually scold me. and my boss would tell me to stop for a while because i work even on weekends. that is how i learned that i am workaholic. people noticed began to notice it in my last job. my job then only requires me to work 8 hrs a day, but i would usually stay there for at least 16 hours or so. i was just thinking that i love my job and i am enjoying it. my friends made me realize that i am a workaholic already. my jobs now are both home based. and sometimes, after finishing my duties, i begin to do some extra work because im getting bored not doing anything.
as for me, i think its fine if you love what you do, if you are enjoying your work. but never forget to socialize. me? even when im working i still find time to chat with my friends. i meet up with some friends too. and never forget that we still have some other responsibilities. and also, never forget that we need to take good care of ourselves.

Though you are workoholic it seems that you are balancing the life well. Thanks for the response. Please make sure that you balance well when you get married also.
