I do love my art wall (open plan offices are terrible tho - whoever came up with them belongs in the bad place)

julesG 😍 The wall! 2y
rabbitprincess Agreed re open-plan offices! 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, obsessed with my latest acquisitions ☺️ I feel calmer just looking at them (important in these trying times) 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @rabbitprincess, noise cancelling headphones are not enough, I can still hear the obliviously obnoxious colleague who puts her many (work related but still) phone calls on speaker… 2y

I first read this book about #workaholics when I was one myself. I liked the movie much better, but both gave me a lot to think about. Also, that might have been the first time I really got annoyed with movie book covers. #JubilantJuly @RealLifeReading

Stephen King is definitely a #workaholic, having published 60 books and nearly 200 short stories. I've read maybe four of his books, so I have my work cut out for me. #workaholics #jubilantjuly

charissharpe I read a ton of Stephen King as a teenager! 7y

#jubilantjuly Day 5 I'm sort of cheating since I haven't read the book yet and I'm basing this on the musical. Alexander Hamilton was a workaholic. #workaholics #whydoyouwritelikeyourrunningoutoftime #iwillreadthisin2017

Of all the #workaholics in the world of writing, he's toward the top of the list of those I admire most. And have you seen how much he's done in the past few years. The man is non-stop. #JubilantJuly

BooksForEmpathy Ahhhh! I love him. I am seeing the show again tomorrow night. Can't wait!!! 7y
Julsmarshall #non-stop ! 7y
Bookzombie Not to objectify him or anything, but he looks pretty sexy in that pic. ☺️ 7y

Day 5 #JubilantJuly #workaholics I thought of SEAL, a Navy SEAL that the author hired to live with & train him for a month. With mantras like "If it doesn't suck we don't do it" & "When your mind is telling you you're done, you're really only 40% done"-SEAL is a machine. He's an Ironman triathlete & endurance runner who does it with about 3/4 heart capacity due to atrial septum defect-a defect caused by a hole in the heart that limits endurance.?

Dolly That description alone has prompted me to have a lie down. 7y
Centique @Dolly oh that comment made me laugh so hard! Book looks like a lot of fun too 😍 7y
Caryl @Dolly 😂 @Centique - Me, too! 7y
DebinHawaii @Dolly @Centique @Caryl Hah! Me too! I felt guilty when I read the book on the couch. 🤣👍😆 7y

Today was totally hectic at work- right after my wild day, went to post office, so anxious to get my book swap box out that I forgot to hashtag it & take a photo. 😞 please forgive @Branwen !
@Tiffy_Reads
Felt like #workaholics today. Just could not leave. Too much too do!

I've been off for five days. I have to go back tomorrow and I'm pretty bummed about it. Basically I've spent all five days reading or with my friends/family. No #workaholics here. #jubilantjuly

coffeenebula In the same boat 🚣🏻 over here! 😭😭😭 7y

I'm at work so much, I took pictures during my breaks of books that would fit the photo challenges today. I plan on buying that bug book eventually. Exo sounds interesting. A New Class is cute, but I DNF'd Carve the Mark 😑 (that pile all involves aliens!)

night_shift @Cinfhen thanks! @RealBooks4ever Yeah, I think so too! It's insane to think about how if bugs were bigger, they'd definitely take over the world. They have us best population wise like 2000 to 1 or something. 7y

Roseanne Roseannadanna's "Hey, Get Back to Work!" Book | Alan Zweibel, Roseanne Roseannadanna
post image

When I think of #workaholics, the crass and hyper, fast-talking yet strangely charming Weekend Update reporter Roseanne Rosannadanna comes to mind. Remember her? What a character! Her skits helped cure my workaholism. ?She is one of the many reasons why Gilda Radner was such a comic genius. "It just goes to show you, it's always something." This funny book was released in the 80's during the heyday of SNL. #jubilantjuly

BarbaraTheBibliophage Oh Gilda ... she was so amazing. 😓 7y
Crystalblu Oh god, I love Gilda! I keep putting of Gene's audiobook Kiss Me Like A Stranger because I know there will come the moments of her passing! And, after the husband and I ugly crying at the end of Henson ( in the hardware store parking lot, mind you) I have been a little afraid of the heart wrenching ones. 😥😜 7y

MemoirsForMe @slhbooks Gotta love R.R. And her witty repartee. 😁👍🏻 7y
MemoirsForMe @BarbaraTheBibliophage Indeed she was! And she left us way too soon. I was so fortunate to see her Gilda Live show in NYC back then. 7y
MemoirsForMe @Crystalblu I know what you mean. I loved both Gilda and Gene. So glad they found each other. I really want to read Gene's book too. If we do, we'd better keep a few boxes of tissues on hand! 😊👌🏻 7y
