Workaholicism
I told God that I’ve figured out there are two types of “last week before vacation.†The first type is where I’ve made sure that nothing is going on at work, that I have the kind of week where I can sit and twiddle my thumbs.
The other kind is like this week. I end up putting in overtime trying to get everything in place and stable so that I won’t have to spend my vacation doing emergency fixes and maintenance from wherever I happen to be. Sometimes I end up putting in almost as much overtime the week before as I spend on vacation. Of course even that beats the one time I put in sixty hours of work the week while I was on vacation. For problems that weren’t even my fault.
And when I finished telling God this, she smirked. She didn’t just smile, she actually smirked.
