Hi there,
My name is Audrey-Rose and I’m a workaholic.
At approximately 10pm on Thursday night, I sat staring wide-eyed at the clock and found myself daydreaming about being back in the comfort of my workplace. Why? Because, it’s the long weekend. I should consider myself fortunate that I had the time to work on my screenwriting and started to learn a new language, but as every moment passes, and the hours begrudgingly pass by, I’ve been wanting to go back to work.
The worst part is, it’s not even because I’m stressed out and have something to get done there. No, we’ve gone into Agile mode and things are pretty bloody organised, so it’s most definitely not that. No. I just love to work. I love having a list of things to do and I love getting them done. It’s a little addicting. The problem that then follows as a consequence of such an addiction is that I tend to procrastinate on the things I do enjoy doing, just because it’s all I can think about!
Is there a cure? Probably not. It’s probably one of those things where you get a chip out, try to focus and not go overboard each day and then the day you do go overboard, you tend to revert back to that first chip like a good little failure that you are. Don’t take it as an affront to your inability to stay sober (for those of you who might have gotten insulted from that remark), but I would consider it a personal failure on my part if I didn’t have the self-control and willpower to keep myself on my own leash. There’s just no excuse. I would fail because of one simple fact. Working is fun. I like working. I love the feeling of working. And I’ll work again. Addiction is just insane to try to handle. So long as it feels good to the person, they’ll never drop it.
Anyways, so that’s my random ramble of the day. I thought that perhaps my other rambles were due to the utter lack of sleep that I was projecting at the time, but it would appear that even with sleep, I’m just as mentally unsound. I’ll work on it.
Have a good rest of the day!
