Once upon a time, I had a boss who cut a lake house vacation short because she was bored and wanted to come back to work. She spent the rest of the week in a frightening turbo mode, almost as if she were trying to cram all the work she didn't do the first three days of the week into the last two days.

I gather that people who are addicted to stimulants also become anxious if they start to sober up.
