Bisquick helped me find this Forbes article about workaholics and how they can become even more productive. More power naps. Setting better boundaries. Getting more sleep. (Bisquick would say, "Paws up to that!" The Feline of the House would not recommend working too much, or at all, or in human terms putting an unhealthy burden on one's job for one's well-being.)
We at the Spin Cycle don't advocate being a 'holic of any kind even though, to be honest, we are all addicted to something.
A man featured in the story missed KEY life events because of work. Including his own daughter's graduation. Now that's just insane.
Which leads us to this quote by Studs Terkel (author and radio personality): "Most of us, like the assembly line worker, have jobs that are too small for our spirit. Jobs are not big enough for people."
Make it a great Thursday. Whether you are headed to work or not.

We used to recommend what mom calls "aggressive relaxation" instead of lots of work all the time. The problem with that is that mom is aggressive about whatever she's doing, so it seems to us that she works so hard at relaxation that it just turns into work, too.
Yes, we get that. ... It's a tough call, every day. But rest assured: your mom does not miss life events that are important!
