I do it and I used to do it a lot more when I worked. I always feel like if people aren't willing to throw everything into what they are doing (and by everything I mean with manic dedication) then they aren't doing it right and it stresses me out. I demand the same from myself though. I still worry about things that happened when I worked and I stopped working nearly 4 years ago. I get haunted by things I made mistakes with and know I could have handled better. This episode included a voice yelling at me for those things. And they are just so long ago that I can't imagine that any of it matters now.

I do this with everything I care about and it's not a good thing in most cases.
