> Great, so you have to pretend 40 hours a week. Pretend to what? Not sure what this means. My "whole self" is my hobbies and my passions and interests. A few of those overlap with the stuff I do at work. At work I do the work stuff, which conversely also overlaps with my passions (that's why I'm there). Other passions don't overlap with what's useful at work, so I don't do those there. I'm not pretending, just not doing those things at work.
