Or at least that was my attitude when I was an undergrad. :P Ali: I don't know if there's any data, but it's true -- both about the real hero and about workaholics solving their own crises. (I know because I've been one of those workaholics and I've been addicted to crises, and we <i>do</i> create them so we can get that thrill. It's weird but true.)

And the part about workaholics solving crises after crises that they themselves created. ??? That was a cool post that you linked too. It’s an interesting perspective.

Example: I have a paper due TODAY and I'm casually watching TV, layin around... I feel like taking a nap. Tonight I'll probably piece something together and declare "good enough".
