A Story A Day. Story 76 of 365: Workaholic.

She loved her job, she really did. But she was becoming obsessed with it. It had become her life. It was a gradual change. She started leaving the office a bit later than usual, then she stopped going to the gym because she had things to do at work. After that she started going there on Saturday mornings, which prompted her to cancel all her Friday night plans. From that moment on it all went downhill. There were days when she would leave the office at midnight and still be the forst one in. She didn't take holidays anymore, even if her boss had tried to force her too. She basically lived in the office. 

Even with all her dedication, her performance started to ressent from her obsession. The company was not happy with her, and, after some struggling months, she was fired. She found herself with nothing to occupy her time with and completely depressed because they had taken away the only thing that gave sense to her life.
