9-5 Life Is Hell

Do something you enjoy.

[QUOTE="Franklinstein"][QUOTE="Animatronic64"] Don't think lazy has anything to do with it. Repetitive and mundane tasks can drive people insane over time. I guess some people aren't deep enough thinkers to notice that they're doing the exact ****ing thing over and over.

My worry is health I almost done college and now I just fully started working out and eating moderately healthy and seeing results. I feel 9-5 will ruin the diet routine or fatigue me. Another issue is looking for a job with a decent wage or fun to do.shadowkiller11

I feel the same thing, I work out 6 days a week because I like it and I get great results. If I was gong to start working 9-5 it would exaust me totally, so all my hard work I put down atm would go to waste. Aw well... at least I will have a fun job!

Depends on your job I suppose. Having a good time at work makes time fly so fast.

You are a machine :O! But ofcourse, I will do my best to find a sollution that suits me in the future, I'm just so comfortable in how I plan my days atm.

Better than 8-6.

9-5 suits for some, for others it doesn't. 9-12 is a inefficient time for me regardless of the amount of sleep I had and I'm pretty sure that I am not the only one.

Thanks. I am only suited for menial labor, jobs that require no experience or certifications/diplomas so hopefully I'll find something decent.EatShanna

forgive my prodding...but why is that all you are suited for?

Finding something you enjoy doing is improtant, but I find most people don't do jobs they enjoy, they only do them because they have to. Some do it because they want to support their family, it gives them a purpose. But being me I have no family as I'm only 22 so it might be different for me, but I can't stand working jobs I hate, just menail ones or ones I go home exhausted.

It's not worth it to me (right now anyway). Mabey it might sound like I'm lazy, but I just think enjoying life is the most important. Guess I should find something I enjoy doing then.... Still doesn't change my point though, why do we have to work so much? Why does it have to be a part of life?

I understand where your coming from but shouldn't we step back and look at the system? I for one think that people who work 40 hours a week should get more vaction time throughout the year, not just two weeks a year or whatever, like a month off or something.

First off, menial jobs aren't for everyone, I agree. But you are 22, so you can pick any career you want. That is the way you should look at your job btw as a career. If you are just punching a clock everyday with no plan for upward mobility, or if your qualifications/education/credentials don't allow for advancement in the line of work you're in, you need to change that. And the U.S.A. is one of the best places on earth to improve your job qualifications.

Say what you will about america and our problems, but just about any citizen can get money one way or the other for college/technical school; or they can join the military and learn a great trade while serving the country.

I don't think the system is that bad. Like I said if you like your job, and you are doing something meaningful, it really helps alleviate some of the other things. We could use more vacation, but I don't think that's too much of a big deal considering how much Americans call in.

It's not that bad if you have frequent challenges and are doing something you enjoy with like-minded people. I think working makes you (or me personally) appreciate life more; if I'm lazing about too long I rapidly take it for granted.

it's funny that people today work more than foragers did, in fact people today work more than any generation before, at least that we're aware of.

I used to work as a dishwasher form 5pm-closing which varied depending on how busy we were. Some days I wouldn't leave until 3am though I did only work 4 days. I think any job would be hell unless you really love it. Having to do mundane and repetitive tasks will take it's toll on anyone.

Second shift is the worst. I used to work 4-12. Your social life is gone when you work that shift.

I used to work 11pm to 7am.... Tuesday to Saturday. Fvcking killed me for that year. Now, I'm on a 9-5 shift and love it....

I would actually take a 3rd shift over a 2nd shift. I used to work a swing shift. Some weeks I would be 1st shift, others 2nd, and sometimes 3rd. I hated 2nd shift the most.

Once I got my sleeping pattern down, 3rd shift wasn't bad.

At least 9-5 jobs allow you to have a regular sleeping schedule and weekends off. I would kill for that. When I go to back to university my work roster will be:

• Monday: 9:00am-5:00pm office
• Tuesday: 9:00am-5:00pm retail
• Wednesday: 8:30am-10:30am uni, 4:00pm-8:00pm retail
• Thursday: 8:30am-5:30pm uni
• Friday: 8:30am-2:30pm uni, 4:00pm-8:00pm retail
• Saturday: 6:00am-3:00pm retail
• Sunday (every second weekend): 9:00am-3:00pm retail

At least 9-5 jobs allow you to have a regular sleeping schedule and weekends off. I would kill for that.daqua_99

I've lived my entire life in the country and am "diagnosed" with ADHD, so I can honestly say that I wouldn't last a day living like that.

I work alot of 3PM-7AM's.....

This is why I'm f-ing scared of getting a full time job soon lol. How could you live your life like that with no freedom, everyday? I'd go mad :(

Your life is what you make of it, not what others make of it. If you're unhappy then go after a different job. Ghost_702

I hate when people say stuff like this. its not that simple man..

You may want to read about bohemianism.

No, 9-5 is not hell. It sucks, but it's far, FAR from hell.

Mines from 8:30am to 6:00pm .. lol

I work graveyard shift five nights a week and if I didn't get paid so damn well I'd go on a murderous rampage and kill everyone.

As 8 hour shifts go there isn't much better.

Sitting in a chair for 8 hours leaves you completely drained of energy? What did you do before you got this job, lie in bed all day?
