I love my work, I have to be reminded to eat because I'm so into what I'm doing, consistently, every day. I don't understand people who say things like "thank gods it's Friday" (why are you spending most of your life doing something you want to get away from?!).

However, it is still just work! It's not my company, it's not my identity, and it gives me no value as a human being. You are not your success. My colleagues are not my friends, though we can hang out and have fun. My accomplishments at work are not my value as a person, though they give me satisfaction.

Work is work, don't buy what they're selling, and put down the cool-aid.
