Work Ethic (1/20/06)
Someone said to me today, "I was beginning to wonder if you ever worked."
Oddly enough, it is my intensely strong work ethic that makes me happy to work as little as I do.
When I was working 9 to 5 (technically 8:30 to sometime in the evening), it bothered me to take breaks, to have to stop to chat, to do anything other than work. I didn't like that I was getting paid for doing "nothing".
Now, I only get paid for precisely the amount of time I work. It makes me much happier overall, and I feel ok (well, sometimes) when I'm not working.
