  Its funny how some people separate their career from everyday life - a career usually IS everyday life!

  For sure! You will likely spend more time with your workmates than anyone else so you'd better like them a little bit! :-)

  But beware GTP (Game Transfer Phenomena) - "...a brief mental hiccup during which a person reacts in the real world the way they would in a game."

  I feel game play is related to stress, it is a good form of stress release, but in the world of today it may be an escape from realty. It seems to me the more entertainment technology is developed the more the coast of reality is a premium. Perhaps this way people start to identify them selves with their work, there is nothing wrong with this just as long as they have something outside of work.
