It's one of those jobs you just can't leave behind you when
you're out of the office.
I've longed being talented enough to control that like a
hand-switch in the mind. It's what motivates me to keep
learning outside the job. A very vicious circle that fuels me
daily.
The best way to stop working once you get home is get a worse job
