#Workaholics & #Narcissists

“I’m burdened with glorious purpose,” said Loki.

I was just having a conversation with a colleague and she was telling me that I could relate to Loki because she can see the character similarities. I do agree for honestly, I do think I am a bit of both – workaholic & narcissist. But to be fair I am not as chronic as I used to be.

You see, I used to work all the time. Working till late nights was a BAU, going back on time was a rare occasion. Saturdays, Sundays, Public Holidays, Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Whatever, I will be constantly checking my work emails on my mobile. I just couldn’t let go.

As expected it came to a point, I burnt out. Err… many points actually.

Anyways, now that I am older (I believe wiser too) and manage to control the hours I put into my job, I am wondering why was it so difficult for me to unplug? Was I overloaded? Or…. the narcissist in me thought that the business cannot live without me?

Well, over the years that I’ve learnt nobody is THAT important. Let alone me. And you too actually =}

Happy weekend everybody. My company is granting early release today, allowing us unplug from work and take the time off to enjoy the last days of 2021 with the people we love. And that is exactly what I shall do. So shall you.
