The Universal Worker

The Universal Worker — he’s sort of like Dolph Lundgren in Universal Solider, but instead of charging around like a revived Vietnam fatality, he just really, really enjoys work. Working in a coal mine, working for the weekend, working as a waitress in a cocktail bar… if it pays over £6.31 an hour, he’ll do it. Some might even say he’s a workaholic, but what is workahol, and can you be addicted to it?
