Work week
« on: February 20, 2019, 05:47:15 pm »
Why does the work week seem long even when you had an extra day off? I had Monday off and I am ready for it to be Friday already. I am exhausted.

I have heard people say that the work week does not seem as long if you love what you are doing but I have found very few people that love what they are doing! I work between fifteen and twenty hours a day during the week and fifteen to twenty hours a day on the weekends. I guess everything is just one big blur. These days I have been taking a day or two off each month to work on other things and visit my children who are both up at college. My daughter graduates in May and starts her first real job in August. She took off three onths so that she could travel and has a brief  teaching gig at an ivy league school before heading into the working world in August. The family expenses should reduce at that point. We will probably have another three to four years of expenses related to my son's college (double ajor).

Sometimes even with a extra day off you need to rest.  That is real hard to do.

I loved my job. And always got all of the holidays off. Because if I worked one I got 2 days paid vacation and  time and a half. So it rare for me to have to work and I loved it. But I also enjoyed  my job. I was always busy and  it just seemed to fly. But it was nice to come home afterwards,

Ya, oh heck no.  I do not miss my job at all.  Last day of my career was 2016 then I became disabled.  Do not miss that crap for anything.  I do not miss punching a clock trust me.  I had such a bad experience in the Casino industry.  I was a slot tech I worked on slot machines and I DO NOT miss it for the world.  It was one of those jobs were they were looking to point me because I had 13-14 years in the business.  I think they were looking to trim the fat off the budget.  I don't care how many years you have in a job this is what they are doing nowadays.  Most businesses are cutting employees to part-time so they don't have to pay benefits.  Then they are looking for younger people to fill positions because they don't necessarily ask for raises.  The idea in the Casino industry is they want robots.  If I would have known this down the road I would have never changed career paths and went into the Casino industry.  I was laid off from Sony after they shipped my boss back to Japan after being here for 14 years.  And I am not one that would jump from job to job.  I am old school I anchor in for the long haul.  Well, after being diagnosed with PTSD, BPD, anxiety/depression, AFib, that's just some of it.  Wonder why my last day was 2016?  ya fighting with your boss and telling the shrink I am done with working.  Did I mention I DO NOT miss work?

My days go really fast because we work very hard from the time we get in until the time we leave. The time doesn’t drag. I wish there was more of it.
