Posted: 10:04 - 29 Jun 2012 Post subject: How do you deal with full time work? |
|
|
Hi guys
How do you deal with working day in day out?
I know you'll probably lol as there will be those of you who have worked fulltime for the last 20+ years but fuck
I've been on the grind only 2 years and I still don't get how people can bare it, we spend more time working than enjoying life, we get one day a week where we can get a decent night sleep and stay up as late as we want without having to worry about waking up early (saturdays)
How do you people not go insane?
I by no means live to work and only really work to live, I need the money, would anyone really work if they didn't have to? I'd much rather focus on things I enjoy doing, however time-wasting they may seem
Dunno, maybe there are people out there doing what they love and are super happy in what they're doing
My job is by no means bad, it's the best i've had thus far as it's dealing with people so everyday is slightly different
But shiiiiiiiiit, we're expected to go on like this forever until we die?!
The average day seems to split into 3 parts, 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours free time... It's just not enough
I want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

Make LOADSA money, then you don't have to work.
It aint called the daily grind for nothing.
I do agree with you though, it's thoroughly depressing when you work out how much time you waste working. Let's face it, any sane person wouldn't do it without pay.
Look at it this way, your employer wants to pay you the minimum amount, it thinks it can get away with, and extract from you the maximum amount of graft.
Ergo it's your responsibility to ensure that karma is restored and you do as little work as you think you can get away with, for the maximum amount of money.
Top tip, don't take your work home with you!
As soon as the clock hits 4:00pm, i'm off and out, couldn't give a flying fcuk if the building burnt down while I'm not in it.
I don't think about work until the next time I see my desk.
Don't do overtime, your time is far more precious than money.
Work is a none entity, AFAIC, it pays for the things I need and want, other than that I have very little interest in it. ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

I would consider an 8 hour a day job luxury. When I was catering I was lucky to get a 10 hour day. Very lucky. 40 hour weeks? WTF are 40 hour weeks? Thats part time for a chef. Double the hours and you're touching what I used to do regularly. Funnily enough its what I had to do to be any good at my job.
Weekends off? If your lucky you'd get one day of the weekend off. But whole weekends off are a rareity as while the 9-5'ers are out partying its the chefs that supply the food.
Strange thing is though, I'd always have time to go out on my days off to get shopping, even go out on the bike.
Stop complaining and get on with it. Welcome to life. ____________________ illuminateTHEmind wrote: I am just more evolved than most of you guys... this allows me to pick of things quickly which would have normally taken the common man years to master

I don't love my job, but I do like it. I work because I don't have the means to make or forage the things I want and need. The work, people I work with and the pay I receive make it an acceptable trade for my time and effort.
It's all down to what YOU think is an acceptable trade. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Despite what three or four generations of British have been inculcated to believe, there's no law of nature that says that world owes us a living, ever.
Most of the population of the planet understand that, and always have. We are simply breathtakingly spoiled in modern Europe. "Why should I work?" is a first world problem.
In essence, the welfare state has allowed and indeed encouraged many people to remain dependent all their lives, and the rest of us look at them waddling around in their tracksuits and bling and say "Heyyyy, wait a minute, why am I busting my nuts?"
The answer is really just this: it's the difference between being an adult, and remaining a child.
So man up and put in rather than taking out. Take personal responsibility for making one thing better today, and I guarantee that your balls will grow two sizes. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Eh, I don't particularly like my job, but hey - I don't live at my Mum's or in a shitty bedsit. I go home to my nice house full of my nice things.
I've always thought a three off four on balance would be perfectly acceptable. ____________________ 'Allo! My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!

I cope with it very well, but that's easy when you grew up poor. I work long hours but I do enjoy many aspects of my job and I get free reign to do it how I like. I get paid well too which is a bonus. Only thing I really hate about it is the driving. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

I understand this and have always worked from leaving school at 16, more or less
It's not that I think anyone owes me anything, I just really really want to escape the grind, or at least do something I enjoy doing
My jobs not bad, I'm living with my parents again though, probably where all the stress comes from, I think i'd take a lot more satisfaction in coming back to my house, dumping my shit wherever I feel like it and chilling at my own expense
Even if it does leave me with hardly any play-dough
And what would I do with all my free time if I had it and didn't have to work? Enjoy it. Go out, stay in. Need money to have fun though, gotta work to make money, naturally.
I hated being on the dole when I was. Really, really hated it. That's the way it should be though, people should not want to go there.
I thought this thread would invoke interesting responses and it has!
I come from a generation where most of us are lazy scroungers, we've been brought up on it. first thing my parents said when I mentioned moving out was to apply for council housing and benefits to support me, fuck that
I have no debts or credit cards and don't intend to get any.
I avoid stupid contracts wherever possible, other than insurance. People will probably say that's retarded as you need to build up a good credit rating, but the whole thing seems like a con to me.
I'll stick with renting, albeit a money pit. I don't think there will ever be a time when I want a house to live in for the rest of my life and paid off the mortgage. I don't even want to be in England. But I think that's 'grass is greener' mentality
Now i'm back on basic rate tax (FUUU-) i'm being raped by the tax man again until I get it back and get my tax code updated and i'm relatively short cashed -_-"
I try and take a step back from seeing things from the inside out and look outward onto myself ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |
