Do you live to work or Work to live....
Well its just a thought .. why do you work ? Well what really brought this on is my boss calling me to work on a holiday, which wouldn't be so bad if there was really something important to be done. But what really bothers me (besides ruining plans for a fun picnic) is that i am only needed in case he might need some info. Well fortunately for the most part my boss is well trained, don't expect me in on my days off unless i have an assignment pending, no late nights just waiting for him. Its finish your work and get the hell out of there, no waiting for my colleagues or my boss to leave before i do (hey i can't help it if I'm efficient!)
So which brings me back to the question, why do you work. I do know of a lot of people who can't wait to get in in the morning and hate to leave. Wonderful if you really love what you do. Personally, i can't ever see the day where for me work would be the end all... but to those who do, hope its worth it !

we know that!! party animal
thought-provoking. thanks for asking this out loud.
i've always known that i wud hate a job where i couldn't predict what time i cud leave or whether the weekends were off-limits. i work, but it doesn't consume me. not now, when i work from home, and not before, when i worked full time for 3 years. my logic is, i need to always have time for family and friends as well, because loved ones will be around even after i've retired from work!
I echo your sentiments.Get your work done and leave no need to hang around to prove how hard you work.
We have a senior colleague who puts in 17-18 hours a day. Everyone thinks that he works darned hard, but I happened to interview his driver and discovered the truth ...his work keeps him away from a bad marriage !
