I’m not talking about necessarily an actual job, because I do it with hobbies to. But if I get focused on something, I need an outside source to bring me back. Yesterday at the end of my shift I found a bug in some code and it bugged me until this morning to work on it. I got to work right at 8:00 and after fixing it kept working. Next thing I know it’s 5:00 and my boss is messaging me asking if I’m still in and if I need help getting out for the weekend. I didn’t even take a lunch today. I wasn’t even hungry, thirsty, or even needing to use the restroom until I got that message. I just started working and got sucked in and forgot about basic necessities.

Does anyone else get this way?
