in some urban centers,work aholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal.
Government workers in Washington, DC, for example frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week.
They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Hundreds of workaholics in New York City tried to go to work even in the famous blackout of 1977.
There was no electricity-no air conditioning elevators or lights - but many people went to their offices anyway.
They sat impatiently on the steps outside their office building and did paperwork or had business meetings.
