Are you a Workaholic, ask your self

Yesterday one of my colleagues told me I am a workaholic. I said, I am. Then I went home and thought I should confirm it, so I started googling. I found a good set of questions from Workaholics Anonymous that settled it.

Their list has 20 questions. The ones that hit me hardest were along these lines:

• Does work excite you more than family or anything else?
• Do you take work to bed, into weekends and on holidays?
• Is work what you most like to do and talk about?
• Do you regularly work more than 40 hours a week?
• Do you turn your hobbies into ways to make money?
• Have friends and family stopped expecting you on time?
• Do you underestimate how long things take, then rush to finish?
• Do you get irritated when someone asks you to stop working to do something else?
• Do you think about work while driving, falling asleep or when others are talking?
• Do you work or read during meals?

After reading all of them, I can say I am a workaholic.

The full questionnaire is on the Workaholics Anonymous website.
