    I think we may be discussing traits of a level of obsession Hatman does not evince.


That was just an example, generally I mean any situation where he might say he can't take a day off because he's needed. Whether it's the Lair Legion, or a critical day at the Foundation, or not wanting to leave Mac Fleetwood hanging.

To be fair though, quite a few people in reality do that. They can't take a day off because their boss needs them, they have a really important event they can't get out of, etc.

In both cases it just *looks* like a comical workaholic, but it often comes with an inability to trust someone else to do the job, or a fear that someone else might replace them permanently if they seem to be doing a better job.

    Hatman is no longer the team's leader. He's shown himself to be just as adept at taking other roles without any kind of ego. At the moment he's on his first few days back as Training Officer and that's a busy job given the record intake of new members all at once. Once the current situation is over then I don't think Jay's going to object to a bit of downtime.


Of course he has downtime, the question is what he does with it. Whether he actually does give himself time off, or if he believes that's a waste of time when there's so much to do.
