The average person likes to relax and enjoy their time off of work while there are a handful of people who just cannot get enough of working. These people are known as workaholics. They tend to enjoy spending more time at the workplace while living no such life outside of the workplace. If I am being completely honest, I am a workaholic. Here are 11 signs you may be a workaholic as well.
1. You enjoy working.
As simple as it sounds, you enjoy working and don’t mind spending hours at the workplace.
2. You spend more time at your workplace than you do at your own home.
If the hours you spend at your workplace exceed the hours spend in your home, you’re a workaholic. Your workplace is basically your home now.
3. You’re early to work and late to leave.
If you get to work a half an hour or more before your start time, you’re a workaholic.
4. If someone needs a shift change or needs someone to cover them at work, you gladly volunteer.
What’s a few more hours anyway?
5. Your manager offers you the day off but you decide to work anyway.
It would just feel off if you weren’t following your daily routine.
6. You spend so much time with your coworkers that they become your only friends.
To have someone to complain to about and have them understand is truly a blessing.
7. You know everyone’s coffee orders.
You might as well stop near the nearest Starbucks in order to get through the day.
8. Your outside friends and family always wonder if you’ll be off.
Chances are you have no days off.
9. When you start having dreams about your job.
OK, this is a little far but completely true. If you have dreams about your workplace, you are definitely a workaholic.
10. You find the work itself amusing.
Who actually likes to work? You do!
11. When the time does actually come for your day off, leaving the workplace is as sad as can be.
Let me just drive away into the sunset, looking out the window while I listen to James Blunt and pretend my life is a sad music video.
