Work and nothing but

For years I have blamed my jobs, bosses and surroundings for the incredible number of hours I worked. Regardless of how it started, it always ended with me angrily walking away from each position, promising that I would never let “that” happen again. In search of a final fix, I was lured to this island with promises of a nine-to-six workday; but, as I find myself leaving the office progressively later each evening, I am starting to think that it is not the employers or locales that are to blame, but the employee.

It is you...but I don't think that's a necessarily bad thing. You work hard, you give your everything and your everything is a lot--be proud that you do that because it's something that is valued in people.
It's only a problem when you feel like you are giving to much...then you have to look at what you are giving and what you're getting and make some hard determinations--you've done that before and, when the time comes and its the right decision, you'll do it again.
