Do you have trouble disconnecting from work when the workday is done? If so is it because your job demands that you don't, or can you not get enough of working?

In my case, it is because a client may have an emergency. Some projects I work on need to be completed in a short period of time in that case I may work in the evenings and on weekends.

I'd rather love someone I can't have than have someone I can't love.

I won't ever put work ahead of my family so my answer is "No". I do however do the best job I can while I'm there.

My job demands that I bring work home with me. My work day does not end just because I'm home. Papers don't grade themselves and lessons don't plan themselves. However, it's not like this every day, and it's not like this year-round; I do get summers off, as well as traditional school breaks, and they are MINE. It is very rare that I will allow my job to infringe on the summer months--unless it's something like a one day meeting where they are hiring new staff and want my input during the interview process--that's the kind of thing I want to be and have been involved in before.

Does the fact that I have to do these things make me a workaholic? Nope. I knew what I was getting into when I became a teacher. However, my family will always come first. I never did see a student drop over and die if their paper wasn't returned the very next day, so a delay there when my family needs me more is just fine and should be expected.

My job does come home with me at times. It's the nature of the business. I don't consider myself a workaholic at all, but when deadlines have to be met I end up working 6 days a week.
