I recognize that I have the luxury to do this, and it's one of the things I'm thankful for. I've never been an energy-filled, flea on the griddle type person, and I'm sure most of you would disapprove, but I doubt any afterlife is going to judge me by my work output--and it it is, too bad. What I'm trying to say is, no matter how it's being used these days, "driven" is not a compliment.
