To my fellow workaholics I say, Happy
National Workaholics Day!
A workaholic
is “a person who is addicted to work. The
term generally implies that the person enjoys their work; it can also imply
that they simply feel compelled to do it.” According to Wikipedia, “workaholism
is not the same as working hard.” The term “workaholic” was first used by Wayne
Oates in 1968, but didn’t really catch on until the 1990s. Are you a
workaholic? Take the “Are you a workaholic quiz” by clicking here!
Don’t work too hard today folks. In fact, why
not take a break and vote on the daily
poll!
*I would just like to point out that as I typed
in “workaholic symptoms list” in Google Images (hoping to find an image I could
use instead of the link to the quiz), the third image to appear was a
photograph of Rob Ford. Really Google? THAT’S your example of a workaholic??
Yikes.
