Am I ambitious or workaholic?

Posted by admin
workaholic
Jane Marple asked:


I use to justify my behavior by saying I’m just ambitious but now i’m starting to doubt my reasoning.

1. I work 50 hrs a week
2. I get very antousiastic when I talk about my work
3. I can not take a day off or a vacation without feeling guilty
4. I think the world will stop turning if I’m not at the office
5. I eat at my desk while working
6. I think about work while showering, shopping and in bed
7. I fear weekends…to me they are boring and a waste of time
8. It’s been like that for 3 years (i’m divorced)

I have a week of vacation scheduled for next week and I am stressing over not being at the office.

What in the world can I do to stop that non sense?
