Workaholics Anonymous
By Leonard Skinthorpe Jr | September 1, 2008
I can’t stop working. I seem to be staying up later every night. I’m typing articles until the wee hours of the morning and waking up a little worst for wear the next day. Is there any such thing as workaholics anonymous? If there is, I think I should book myself a seat straight away! I bet the whole room would be jam-packed with lonely data entry clerks who work from home. The scariest thing is, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than composing blog posts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is just so much data to enter and so little time.
I have to force myself to stop. I have to engage myself in activities that don’t involve a computer keyboard and screen. I think I’m addicted to my job and it is having a negative impact on my health and social well-being. It’s not easy being one of the best looking data entry operators in Australia but I don’t complain. I just get on with the job at hand and hope for the best. The sad thing is that I’m not really making any money from this venture at the moment, but I am confident that all my hard work will pay off in the long run.
