20. I guess I was/am a workaholic

Mar 2017

When getting paid, I gave 100% and didn't take sick days unless I was unable to move out of bed.

Heck, I seldom took my vacations if there was work to be done. Pretty much just the required religious holidays were non-negotiable to me.

Of course, I had a very rewarding job, and worked for the American people. So it's a different situation. I couldn't wait to get to work, came back to work after mandatory retirement, and left about 150 vacation days unused at the end of my career.

I'm also in my 90s, so it's a different generation. Heck, I just got re-admitted to the bar and am working as a public defender for free. I just like working.
