The title is accurate as I see it. Not all become obssesed with work. It can happen to poets as well.I may have misunderstood your epigram? Good one. Panagiota

My career swallowed me for many years, and not for the good. Way too many wrap their identity in who they are at work, or at least that's my view now...

We do wrap our identity around our work, at least for the most part. If our work is creative and challenging, then that's not so bad. if it's the opposite, oh boy!...

When our son was born I friend told me: "hang up your tools after work and go out and play with him". I did, and am grateful that i listened

I have to admit this appealed to my artist side!

Your artist 'side?!'... You mean that you have yet another side to you beside 'artistic?!' ... Well I'll be gobbersmacked by a woodland faerie! ~ P. Pan

This is so true, gw, and a fact that so many spouses cannot seem to understand.

Interesting angle in your comment, Milt. Hadn't thought of it. Thanks, gw
