Someone please define 'workaholic' for me.

Those of us who put our job above just about everything else. Personal life, health, family, friends, spending the night with someone...

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

-winces- What if you don't have a personal life, your health isn't too terribly bad yet, you're doin' it for your family, your friends aren't...too worried yet and you haven't spent the night with someone in months?

[knowthenbreak.livejournal.com]

Does the job consume hours of your day that some might say a reasonable person wouldn't spend on it?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

I manage a bar and I live above it. Essentially I'm there twenty-four seven.

[knowthenbreak.livejournal.com]

When you're not there, not working, what do you think about?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

My son, mostly. Whether he's doin' okay, what else I can do to help.

[strangers-call.livejournal.com]

I have it from a very reliable source that you might be suffering from this common disease.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

......crap. Really?

[strangers-call.livejournal.com]

Yup, I've been commissioned to slip something into your drink.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Well, shoot. I'd hoped to avoid assassination attempts until after I became president.

[strangers-call.livejournal.com]

I am not trying to kill you, silly! Just get you to sleep.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

-chuckles- Teasin' you. I don't need to sleep, really.

[strangers-call.livejournal.com]

Actually you do need some sleep, in fact some doctors suggest it. Some sleep isn't going to kill you.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Four out of five doctors agree that sleep is beneficial? Somethin' along those lines? -sighs- I nap durin' the day, so I'm gettin' some. I just...don't...want...to sleep at night.

[strangers-call.livejournal.com]

I would like to meet the fifth doctor and actually talk to him. *Cocks an eyebrow.* Why don't you want to sleep at night?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what kinda nut is so focused on standin' out that he denies the important of sleep? -half-smiles- I think you've met the reason. Bout four-foot-ten, has a tendency to break things and talk too much?

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

One who has a compulsive and unrelenting need to work.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Well, it's unrelentin', that's for sure...

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

Perhaps taking Halloween off will help?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, I'm sure it will. -smiles- How're you, Addie?

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

I am well.

I... have another child.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

....................................e-excuse me?

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

He needed a place to live... and it is hard for him to trust people.

*sighs* I will not adopt any more children.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Oh, Addie....-grins- Don't feel bad. Really, it's...it's wonderful. You're so....

-smiles- What's his name?

[adalia-krause.livejournal.com]

He will not speak, but he likes the name Snickers. It is his favorite candy. He will be a lot of work, but I hope that I will be able to help him.
*yes, she is insane, but is a good mother, really*
