Joke, based on a true story

For as much as therapy has helped deal with many issues in my life, it can't deal with work. Thus inspired a joke. Person goes to doctor. Suffers from anxiety, stress, paranoia. Complains that long work induces such things, that the drive to push yourself beyond what is reasonable to barely scrape by is unfair. Wishes there were better ways. Doctor says, “Ah! Treatment is simple. What do you want to do? Work is long? Work part-time! What do you enjoy? If you love what you do, it won't feel like work! Tell me, what is your dream job?” Person cries out, “But Doctor! I am working my dream job!”
