Work life
    #23621369 - 09/07/16 10:04 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

So I'm working for the new few months and taking off school. I wakeup at 6am, commute after some tea, yoga/meditation, sometimes working out. I am out the door by 8am and at work by 8:45. I work from 9 to 5. By the time I get home and eat dinner it's about 7. I am wondering what it was like moving from the college/school schedule to a standard work schedule

The tight schedule and strict wake/sleep times can be hard to adjust. I feel like a lot of my coworkers just go to work and head home. Either drink or watch tv or both with their free time. I imagine/feel people allow themselves to be a slave to this sort of system. A lot of people act like like working 9 to 5 is absolutely horrible. And to an extent I see how some can be miserable in this schedule

But if u r efficient with time it doesn't sound bad. A lot of people (not all) who complain about the 9 to 5 grind r just not utilizing a todo list (my opinion)

My question to ya'll;
If you guys work a standard 9 to 5, do you still "do things", i.e. Have hobbies outside of work?
What about your coworkers?

I worked a 9-5 and managed to drink beer and smoke weed as much as necessary to keep me in line

You're just starting? Give it a few years and you'll figure it out.

It doesn't matter how efficient you are with time, that efficiency will start to feel like work, always having one more chore to do even off the clock. Its necessary but there are times when having a full schedule can be overwhelming. Then there are times when its really not a big deal and things seem to fall into place.

Anyways I live my life regardless of work, even if I'm putting in 12hrs a day x 6 days a week.


At this point though, I only work day jobs part-time, my injuries haven't entirely healed and I just need to get by for awhile before performing again.

IME....Some like the rigid schedule of a 9-5 or whatever 8 -10 hr. work day and some are just not cut out for it. Some like to eat dinner at the same time every night then go on with their comfortable structured evening. Others repel from structure. I'm somewhere in between. It is very important to fit some fun time in there whether it is playing volleyball or softball or mushroom hunting...but something that can relieve the built up stress from a work day.

Add in home maintenance or a child to care for and kiss what little free time you had away. That's adulthood.

Sounds about right. I'm usually up by 5:45AM and out the door by 6:45AM to make work by 7:30Am. then I work till 4-4:30, hit the gym for just over an hour and home by 6:30PM. Then its shower, eat, etc.

It doesn't leave much time, but I have all my weekends free and plenty of time off.  All in all, during the work week I may only have a few hours/day here and there to do stuff, but I can cut out the gym to gain an extra 75 minutes. I can also go to bed a bit later if I can suffer through a touch of fatigue the next day.

Face it, you're going to have to work for a huge portion of your life (e.g., 40 hours a week). Its helpful to spend that time on something productive and meaningful.

Don't.  Honestly, I love what I do, and more importantly its my choice. I could always flip burgers 20 hours a week if I wanted to.

Fair enough, I'm glad you managed to get a good job. I wouldn't be able to, I never got an education. I could have, I got into a really good university, but I went manic from the stress and quit. I'll probably start taking classes again soon, I've been traveling for the last 5 years.

Glad you enjoy your career, what field are you in?

That's the big caveat in my opinion, finding work you love.

When I'm performing/teaching and not having to load trucks or dig ditches for a living, the busy schedule takes on a whole different dynamic. If it came down to just doing something I didn't like, I just couldn't do it.

For a while I didn't have much of a life. I lived a ways away from work, and worked long hours. I was up at 4:30 am, didn't get home til between 9:30-11 pm most nights, depending on how long I wound up staying/what the train situation was. Now I still work long hours, but I live in walking distance, so I have way more free time. But I also work 4 days a week, so I had free time before, and did get out. But in general life is hella busy. It's not just work; as you get older you get more & more responsibilities. Such is life. But it's really not so bad. But yeah I still have fun, as do my coworkers.

Seems a little obtuse to state this after doing it for.. how long, your school holidays?

Just wait until you've been at it for 18 years; you might have a little more empathy for others that do by then.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Seriously. Older you get, the longer those to do lists get. OP is just unaware of how busy he's gonna be.

I think having something to do outside of ur work is absolutely necessary to maintain a healthy and happy life style. i think one of the most important things u can do to make things easier for u when u are working a job that is so structured is to maintain a structured lifestyle outside of work as well.

I would love to do this (who the fuck wouldn't), but how do you do it?

Did you come into an inheritance? Or got well off parents or something?

A half decade of traveling requires basically infinite free time and a whole hell of a lot of funds.

She claims to live on welfare so clearly all of it is bullshit, up to and including being a woman.

Well, it wasn't continuous. I saved up welfare payments, went somewhere, came back and saved up more, then went somewhere again. To address doubts that this is possible, I always traveled on a tight budget.

Welfare payments aren't shit you must also be on ssi . Even that isn't much.


Used to work 50-60 weeks and school. Tell o snapped.

Soon I'll be back to working overtime no school anymore just loan payments .

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
