    The best part is you can quit any time you want.

    Yes…but there is such a thing as a work addict. My father is in his eighties, hasn’t had to work in decades, but still works like more than forty hours a week. I have no doubt that if he stopped, he’d be dead within the year.

    My wife is also a workaholic but she’s the equivalent to the alcoholic that wants to stop drinking but cannot. She just can’t help herself to the point that she’ll turn her own leisure time into a job.

    I used to be the same but heart surgery and cancer cured me of that bullshit.

      Sorry to hear about your health problems, but happy you were able to switch off as a result.

    I was with the post until the end. Both workaholism and the coercion of capitalism are real, they shouldn’t be conflated.

            Someone who thinks we need a militaristic (i.e. tanks) installation of a communist regime.

    I hate eating and love grinding. God I grindso fucking hard they call me Tony hawk at work cause of all the the grinding I do. Living in a nice home and doing things you like is gay and lame. The woke loser libs want you to think we should have free time for things that make us happy so we can enjoy life. Pfft, ya know what I say? GRIND! FAMILY? NO TIME OR MONEY for that, GRIND! HOLIDAY? THATS GAY! GRIND HARDERRRRR! NIGHT WITH FRIENDS??? NAH NERD GRIIIIIIIINNNNNDDDD

    I worked so hard for so long that I’m like this and it’s awful.

    When I get time off, I don’t know what to do with myself. Right now I have a full time night/ weekend job and I’m attending university with 5 courses. This summer I’m considering picking up another job because I won’t know what to do with myself.

    Listen. All you need too do is have a near death inhabitating health emergency and you can retire in your forties and then maybe live another twentry-forty years on a fixed income.

    Shits simple dog.

    One psychologist one told me that addiction is when you do it 8 hours a day
