Techy Workaholic
i There are many identity labels, however a techy workaholic is one label that no one really
has heard of or don't even know *h" it is.'So what a techy workaholic is, they ad the type of
person that acts very shaky while at work und *"ul a lab coat even though they only work with )' computers that are in the office or wherever they work.'To get into more depth of what they do,
there are five major things to see when y6Jl'toot at one. First, they are often never home and stay
in the office working on a project while their office looks like a technology junkyard and house
looks like it has never been cleaned. Then, most don't have a family at home waiting for them so
they live by themselves. Next, sometimes they work in a high end job like NASA or IBM, they
tt' are also much unorganized at their job but they are so good at it that they can't be fired. Lastly,
1 the way they act and live is similar like Doctor Emmett Brown from the movie Back to the
Future. \'' r , First, atechy workaholic usually lives at their job and often never home. They do this t l' '\.i .1, ..,r': " ,. i becausetheyhavea1ltheirbigequipmentatt@Sometimestheygohomeif
they need to work on a personal project that is not allowed in the work atea. Living away from
home is an easy thing to do for them, since they only use the house for sleeping and change of
clothes. Attheirwork area, it is unorganizedwithwires going all overthe place inthe office.
While at their home, it is also the same way but worse. They would have clothes lying Serrano 2 / everywhere, dirty dishes in the sink not being washed anytime soon, and also have all their
technology equipment lying around everywhere. They stay in the office not only because it is
their job, but it is something that they enjoy to do. People may think, why are they not getting
fired, but it is because they are very good at what they do. Another reason is that there is no one
waiting for them at home.
., ' . Second, techy workaholics don't usually have family or pets waiting for them at home.
This doesn't make them sad; in fact, it doesn't really hurt them at all. All they care about is what
they do at work and are huppy if they can make it work. Usually some of them have a dog, which
means someone has to feed them. Then they do have to go home and feed the dog unless there is
already food for it. When it comes to having a wife or a husband, they don't really have one
because some do not believe in love or just do not want to have one because they are extremely
busy. Brothers and sisters often visit because they want to see if they are doing well and haven't
got into trouble. Their brothers and sisters are nothing like these people. They are well dressed,
proper looking people. Sometimes they own a company and hire the tech workaholic
brother/sister because they love them and they know that they can be a good asset to the
company. Finally, parents are wonied for them because they want the workaholic to settle down
and get married. A11 the parents want is to have their child live a normal life. But they are doing
well for themselves because some end up working for a high tech firm. A high tech firm is
usually a company like NASA or IBM and these people are assigned to work on very classified
or very important projects.
. i Next, some techy workaholics work at a very good tech firm or even better, places like
NASA or JPL. When they work at these places, they are given projects to work on, but they do
n_ot want to work with other people because they do- nolwork- well with other people. They Serrano 3 / always want to be by themselves not because they want to show,' but because they simply just
cannot handle to work with someone else. Like it's said before, they do not keep a clean work
space. Which brings the question on why do they not get fired if they do not like working with
others and they do not have a clean work space. Well one part is that they are extremely good at
their job, so losing this employee would be a loss to the company.Another thing is that maybe
the owner is one of their brothers and sisters. Other people in the work areahate them because
they feel like the workaholics get aspecial treatment just because they are showing off. The ': \ techy workaholics do not care what the others think as long as they do not get in their way of
their work. The workaholics do not have friends of any kind at their job, but they do talk to other
people to get certain information that they need to help with their work. That's as much talking
they will do with other coworkers. At home, they work on their own project, and with these
projects, sometimes they will sell them or they will keep for further studying. Some of these
projects help with either the company or with mankind. They work on this at home most of the
time because they are not allowed to work in this project while at work. i' 'i ,i. Finally, techy workaholics act like the stereotypical knowirall scientists that people see
in the movies. They are the ones that always have a white lab coat on and have long crazy hair.
But then they either work for the President or work for NASA doing classified projects. The way
they act is that whenever they are speaking about their project, they get so excited that they start
getting gradually louder and start making lots of hand movements. The most famous movie
scientist is Dr. Emmett Brown from the movie Back to the Future. This movie is a classic that
everyone should have seen. Basically the way that Dr. Brown acts is the way techy workaholics
act. These scientists are all very successful but have the problem of talking to other people. It is
almost like they were never taught how to speak. Since they don't speak, their projects speak for Serrano 4 / them, meaning that if they complete a project, they don't have to say anything, they just have to
show off the project. i- .)
, In conclusion, their lives are just like a stereotypical lab coat looking person. The way r
people put it is that they look like Doctor Emmett Brown from the movie, Back to the Future. Dr.
Brown does not work atafancy place, except he works at home doing experiments and projects
that will help change mankind for the better. Techy Workaholics also want to change the world
and want to know what is left to know about the universe or of Earth. These people live like this
because they are so into working on these projects that nothing around them usually matters.
