    Ditto.

    I just want to outwork the other person. I like to challenge myself to see how much I can accomplish in a day. Then when that's done accomplish twice as much as I set out to. On and on and on day after day. I'm pretty driven to be productive and exceed expectations (by far) from others and myself. Doesn't just pertain to just employment either. It's just a way of life. I have the same attitude towards anything (hunting included). Go the extra mile. Work a little harder then the other person. Push yourself as hard as you can. And enjoy the fruits of your labor. I don't know seems like a good recipe to succeed. And even if you don't succeed .... you went down with everything you had. Works for me.

    I am typically so busy at work that I often don't take any morning or afternoon breaks (15 min) that I am supposed to be taking.

    Sometimes I work during part of my lunch too.

    So I guess I don't have this problem...wish I did

    So Jeff...what if the employer has no problem with your so called "milking".......matter of a fact, they pay me to be proficient......I know for a fact you have a bigger problem with it then any of my employers??? Just curious as why you have a problem with it..... when you're not the one paying the bill....?

    Then you don't know much. Where does it say I have a problem with it?

    I think I even said "good luck".

    Yeah you said "Good Luck" but you also said I was bragging all over the internet on how I'm "milking" my employer...... maybe I assumed you have a problem with it, maybe I'm wrong...........maybe I'm right! No biggie...carry on! lol!

    SOunds like bragging, to me. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong....and I apologize.
