14 Signs You're A Work-A-Holic

Posted by Monica Raymond on with 0 Comments

1. Unlike most people your age, you share one half of your bed with your laptop, iPad, phone and some paperwork because you know you'll go right back to it when you wake up. #guilty

2. You've spent the night at your office, or at least made sleeping arrangements to be closer to work on a few occasions. (If you keep a futon, blankets or pillows in your office to sleep on, this is happening too often.)

3. You frequently dream about work, people from work, presentations at work, current projects at work or some other work related scene. 

4. When a "weekend" happens once or twice a month. Days kind of seem to run together until you look up from your desk and realize 13 of them have gone by.

5. When you notice your friends kind of gave up on asking you to do stuff. You frequently get, "Just let me know when you're free," and think, "My life sucks," because you look into the future and can't see when that free day will be.

6. When cooking a meal at home is like 5 star dining because you're always on the go and grabbing anything you can find to shove in your mouth. If you don't like almonds, you do now. 



YUM, 
FLAVORLESS NUTS! 
MY FAVORITE!

7. When the idea of going to the gym sounds so amazing, until you actually have an hour to go to the gym and you quickly pass up that opportunity to, you know, SLEEP. (or work more. #truth)

8. You convince your friends to help you with work... for fun. #KellyRabalais

"IT'LL 
BE 
FUN..."
THEY 

SAID.

9. Your only social events are scheduled work events that you have to attend and look like you're having fun when you're really just calculating event details through your head like:
  • how many in attendance
  • did we stay within budget
  • are people smiling and happy
  • no one is using our hashtag
    • we're out of ice
    • this song is depressing
    • clean up on isle everywhere
    • my cheeks hurt from smiling
10. Your coworkers become your best friends, because, let's face it, that's the only social interaction you get.

11. Sad, but true, you may have put together a presentation, powerpoint, important email, speech, etc.  while driving to satisfy the never-ending-deadlines-monster. Trust me, he's a real monster.

12. Your vacations turn into bring-your-work-to-the-beach day.

13. You tell everyone at work "yes." and all your friends and family "no." When you say yes to ONE thing, you're saying NO to a thousand other things.

14. You don't admit you're a work-a-holic. The people that tease about being work-a-holics, rarely are. True work-a-holics are often in complete denial. #guilty
