I try to make this a non-issue by integrating the two instead of letting work be a thing that interrupts life. This works because I largely live on the internet and work a job in front of a PC all day. After some wrangling with the firewall I'm able to access IRC, where I talk with you guys, my boyfriend, and various others, keeping up these internet relationships that fulfill me so. I can also keep up on various personal projects during downtime, so that I don't have to feel entirely as if my own interests are stagnating while I work 100% for the company until my shift ends. I don't always enjoy my work, but it is aligned with my aspirations (to become better at networking and net security), so I don't consider it time wasted in this sense.
