This is one of those covert truths that few in the workplace dare
speak, but I've seen it just about everywhere I've gone. 

We all have different workstyles. I've had a few. I have been, as Dori
Green wrote that she was, a delighted workaholic. I have also been a
slacker when it was evident that reward was not forthcoming. Most
recently, I have become a commando. I get in, do what must be done, and
get out so that life can resume.

If more people knew the truth of what you say, Richard, psychologists
would be looking harder for work :)
