9 Signs You're A Workaholic

Being a workaholic isn't always a bad thing.

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 day, you cave in.

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
