I Wish I'd Spent More Time at the Office

If you have the perfect job for you - it makes you happy to be doing what you're doing (getting paid to do it is gravy) and your self-realization and self-satisfaction makes you a better person to be around, you might be excused for saying, "I wish I'd only known about this sooner." If you're one of the lucky ones, it's desire that drives you. For the rest of us - we're not driven by drudgery. It's a matter of choosing the devil we know rather than the one we do not. Better to be paid for drudge work than to not have a job at all.
The moral of the story is -- find what you enjoy, do it to the best of your ability, and don't listen to anyone who says, "You should do this because it pays better." As soon as you put money first, you've given away your soul.

I wish I'd spent my time better at the office

If you haven't got anything better to do with your time then of course your going to check your e-mail very hour.

Indeed, there is something addictive about checking e-mail every whipstitch for those who deal with a lot of it---especially if you ain't the CEO. God only knows what's in the inbox. (I'd better find out RIGHT NOW, so I can breathe more easily for the next 30 minutes.)
But Brett Favre went back to football for something else, not the "I'd better check" addiction.
