Being a workaholic isn't always a bad thing or a good thing. You'll see the good sides of working all the time, along with the bad. Here are just a few reasons you know you're a workaholic.
1. Friends
Friends are always asking you to pay for things. Even if you have $15 in your bank account, they think you're rich. You make friends at work because you work so much that you share things with coworkers you probably wouldn't share with other people. Being at work all the time causes some relationships with friends and family to suffer unless they understand that you're busy.
2. Time Off
A day off makes you either feel lazy or relaxed. You wonder about your coworkers' day and the things that got done. Then again, you also feel like you've earned the day off because you work so much.
3. Sleep
You have nightmares about showing up to work late or something going wrong at work. You hardly sleep because of this and because you're always working. The nights where you closed and then will open the next day makes it so you have such minimal sleep that you live off coffee, or you just sleep on the couch at work because you're smart.
4. Homes
Work is your second home. You've become used to the environment and you're very close with your coworkers. Your family and friends ask you if you live at work, and to be honest, you basically do. Spending time at home with your family makes you so happy, but you're always looking forward to going back to the office.
5. Coffee
Coffee is a part of your daily ritual. Waking up on those early mornings and going into work makes you crave coffee. You may try to get through the day without having a cup but about halfway through the
6. Family Time
You rarely see your family, but when you do, you take advantage of that time. Even when you're able to drive home for just a few hours, you will. The little time spent with family is better than never seeing them at all.
7. Effort
You put in 110 percent because you don't want to slack off. If you don't do your best, you'll know it and so will your boss. You want to work so hard because you don't want to let your coworkers down. You don't even have to think about what you have to do, it just comes naturally.
8. Positivity
You look forward to punching in and working. Every time you go in, your shift goes by so fast. If you have a negative attitude during work, it makes the work day go by slower and you'll most likely have fewer friends in the work place.
9. Money
You've always got money and you love being able to afford whatever you want and not worry about the bills. At the same time, you're so busy working that you hardly have time to go out and spend it.
