Life of Yuppies --- work...work...work...relax

[MiSTeRYoSA]

Hello! Guess, this question will only be answered by those people who are working. I dunno with u guys but sometimes I feel so obsessed with work. My friends and brothers call me "workaholic". I go to work even if it's my day off. I know this is not funny because I spend less time with my family and loved ones. Good thing we have 2 day offs. U know what? Even if it's holiday, we still have work. I remember I have work on a Good Friday =( That's my life....good thing I can still go to Starbucks with Ada and some friends to spend time together and talk about the latest chika in our office....heheheeheh =) So, how 'bout u?
Do u love ur work? If u were to change something (work related), what would it be and why?

i like my work but i don't love my work that much! i guess you may like your work because it's challenging and interesting but i always look forward to going home and spending time with my family or with myself -- reading, watching tv, relaxing -- or going out with my friends. it's all about balance. i do know, however, some people who love work so much that they do go to work even on weekends (kahit di required). not me definitely.

There are several ways of making a living, and I think that in order for you to truly enjoy what you are doing, you have to choose a career path you love. Once you make money your primary motive for work, you'll eventually burn out if you do too much of it.

Right now, I wouldn't change anything with regard to my career path. It's something I enjoy and well thought out, so I made sure that I wouldn't regret my decision. I wouldn't say that I do too much work though. Like what my friend told me, work hard and play hard.

I'm a recovering workaholic. I used to be obsessed with work since I love it so much.

Now, I'm trying to get into relaxing things, and in work proper, try out different aspects of the job.

I dont work for the love of work,but for the love of money and all that money brings.
I finish work as early as I can,never work weekends or holidays.
Working to me is a means to an end, "MONEY"
And then I enjoy spending it.Live life to the full and party whenever you can Before
its too late!!

In my first job, I was really doing it for the heck of it, and it's a good thing I lasted for a year. The people at the office were great, though, and they're still friends of mine. However, the job was not for me. I remember getting home as early as 6pm, yet my mind would be mush. All it was good for was watching tv for hours and hours. Very droning effect. It was like "Night of the Living Dead". That was a bummer. Sometimes I'd go for long walks during office hours hehehe.. one time I made it to Glorietta from Shell Maya at Buendia. hehehe. So one must not take all of one's pride and joy from one's work. One of my friends told me that having a hobby was like having a second career, and I agree. The Dalai Lama will tell you, "Everything in Moderation" which tells me that to have a complete and full life, you have to balance your work, your hobbies (playing basketball keeps me sane), your love-life (ok ok ok so I spend too much time with my gf.. so sue me), and your family.

And yes, I like my career now. :D
