#WorkaholicProblems

I am a self-proclaimed workaholic. I don't feel like I really necessarily need to proclaim it, as it's pretty much a solid fact. Nonetheless, I work a lot. I left work about an hour ago, which was fine as I volunteered to help out. Now I'm bored, awake and hungry. Terrible combinations but hey, there are certainly worse things in life.

Sometimes I have to wonder if all this work is worth it. I sacrifice so much of myself to excel in the workplace that I often feel that I don't have enough of myself to give for things like fun and having a social life and dating. (Not completely sold on the dating but that's a completely separate posting.) I'm thankful to have two jobs in this economy and two jobs that I thoroughly enjoy, yet I feel like something is lacking. Maybe it's the fact that I don't go to the beach in the summer or on hayrides in the fall or to sporting events simple for the fact that I am ALWAYS working. My inner drive to constantly succeed is both a blessing and a curse.

So the question I leave you with is this: Is it really worth it to give up so much of yourself for a paycheck?
