  • NY Times OpEd from Sunday: Is there Life After Work?

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/op...work.html?_r=0

    I saw a lot of myself in this. It's an interesting article for the workaholics among us, those of us that force ourselves to be workaholics, and those of us that love them.

      Amen to that. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (paid off my brain mortgage last month) and I haven't worked many weekends since my big trial last year. So far, it's a much more fulfilling lifestyle. I realize I might get bored at some point, but I'd rather deal with that when it comes.

        That brings back many bad memories of my first job... And I was just an entry-level peon making crap for pay. To get higher in the company meant even more "commitment". I did it for 2.5 years, and I can't imagine doing it any longer.

          60 hours is avg for me, and that doesn't included working from home. I normally work on vacations.

          It is rough, but I think personally I would be bored otherwise.
