Hard to say.  I get bored sooo freeking easy it drives me crazy.  I have a very 
conventional life.  Married at 22.  8 kids.  Grandparents now.  Wife always did 
the wife thing.  I always did  the work thing.  But I am jaded when it comes to 
stimulating the little gray cells.  I would guess many on this list are a bit 
on the restless side as well.  

Of all the many positive (or negative)  attributes a person might have (smart,  
hard worker, honest, inventive, etc etc) the only one that correlates with 
being successful in business is ambition.  And ambitious folks are restless.  
Talking Soy restless, not Estoy restless.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT? Work-as-life

Less than an hour ago I went on a rare FB visit and, seeing what others were 
doing, posted a thought:


"Today I will not be doing any work, paid or volunteer projects, other than 
house cleaning.  I don't know this feeling." 
Now it seems that may have been a lie as I'm helping troubleshoot router issues 
a country away and sorting a big Monoprice order of A/V gear I received for a 
client.

It seems a number of the more involved people on this list live in the same 
manner: their job/projects are their life... I have also lived and struggled 
with roommates who spent entire months doing nothing.

Is that difference in people based more on personality or the environment? Does 
it get easier or more difficult as you get older? (from physical AF I noticed 
many here were in their 40s-50s)
