Non-Workaholic


Hell No! Posted by Picasa

I will not be intimidated by the number of hours you work.
I will not be struck by awe and wonder watching you work on multiple projects.
I will never talk about work outside of work, let alone bring work to home.
I would not feel proud if I don't take time off or vacation.
I am proud to say that "I have hobbies other than my job".
I am proud not to be a workaholic.

  • True. Never understand how people feel so 'attached' to their work !

    By Blogger Unknown, at August 15, 2005 8:41 PM  

  • Sounds great Deepak !
    I wish i cud follow ur "rules"..but sometimes "chingcha" potta thaan velai nadakum...if i try to be "nice guy"..ppl take advantage of..and if i try to be rough..am labelled rude..Thats the world !!

  • Jayan: Beats me too!.

    --..--..--

    Adengappa: Indian padathula solra maari, "oori oori pochchu". It has become a way of life. The solutions told in the CNN page seems plausible.

    Personally, I get offended when people try to sterotype me, so its like, I have to do some things differently. But this one, is completely my personal choice.
