it's been more years than I care to remember; that first of many disks that held dBase II, the "first" relational* database system for microcomputers that got me hooked designing screens to look like my client's forms (*at least that's what the 3 inch thick  Osborne-printed manual claimed!). I still look forward to the career; not doing much in the way of database work every day. As an analyst/engineer (along the way I got certified in sql, Microsoft servers, even a Novell cne) our team of pros handles just about any issue that crops up. Lately, it's been compliance and pci; next month, who knows.
Still love it, but...my mantra: Work to Live
I feel very strongly that you can give your best and still make time for a life.
It's kept me sane in this career for over 30 years.
I'm sure your boss/manager would have you flip that around to state: Live to Work.
That's just their garbage being passed on to you!
So, take a long lunch, buy that special her/him a nice card and get back to living your life.
