I fear I inherited a rather puritan work ethic from my father. I have a very hard time not working....I feel guilty when I relax or play, especially if I have not completed all my work first. I know that this is not healthy. It's deeply embedded in me, and something I continually struggle with.
Working smarter is good on paper in my line of work. lol
Too much travel time and meetings in-between that make for really long days thus the final answer to the equation is working HARDER!
Honestly, I tend to be a really hard worker and would get bored if I did not have loads to do but someday, I would love to learn how to chill out a bit more and relax if there is a day that calls for me to be in the office.
As a waitress, I'll be nice to you until you're a jackass, then you get shitty service. At this stage in my life I'd rather get a crappy tip then pander to assholes.
Which is why I am looking to change careers . . . but I imaging I'll always have to pander to assholes in some way.
BTW: Anyone who says, "I'll give you a really good tip if you . . ." always tips like shit. ALWAYS.
For myself - brutal and uncompromising. I treat myself like a sweat house worker under the management of a Marine drill sergeant. Failure comes at too high an emotional price for me.
