Acknowledging the workaholic

I was a decent student in school.

Did my work, did fine in classroom, tests, well groomed and well behaved.

No complaints that went home..so yes, a decent student. But never a hyper hard working one.

School to Engineering to IRMA. It was pretty much a straight line graph with engineering being the trough in my academic career.

In the middle of this I went to Infosys and put the engineering to work desk. The good part about Infosys was work was done in office and stayed in office. The after office hours were mine and the weekend was definitely mine.

After IRMA I joined CMS. I was given work on Day one, even before my induction happened. I should have reckoned the signs then. However, I liked the work. It was interesting, so I worked. and I worked and worked.

Now work is a part of me. It is the song that runs in my background. I make my lists on my Google note on the go. I plan my after office hours also to include that 1 hour or 2 hours of work.  Like I pre-prepare before meetings, presentations, review my reports. I think I am a workaholic to a certain extent. I do acknowledge that. Never did I imagine that I would be this crazy and obsessed about work.

Frankly speaking at this point in life, I like it because the work is interesting, it helps me learn new things, new study designs, new people, new projects. Personally life hasn't taken much of a hit from this as I manage to remember my parents everyday, take a few trips here and there with friends and family and have a few sunday sundays. :) 

Given, that the recognition has started coming in, so I say lets keep the workaholic alive longer. 

P.S.: The BIG trip is happening. Amreeka, here I come. *wide grins*
