Today and Monday, I was up during work hours in front of my computer. I usually wake up after 2pm normally. I usually wake up and then head to the gym. My question is, how do people work 5 days a week? I was up during work hours 2 days this week and it was such a wierd feeling. Like people are just forced to work 40 hours a week? I was in front of the computer cause I had to help a few family members with something and I couldn’t help but think about how almost everyone spends 40 hours just stuck at work. It’s wierd to look at the time and think “I am usually sleeping right now.”
>>62515334This didn't happen
>>62515378Explain.
>>62515334I love sleeping, I always have dreams even if it's a short nap and every dream feels more pleasant and interesting than whatever's going on irl. You know that feeling of watching an exciting adventure movie when you were a kid, it's like that only you're actually in the movie. Very addicting. I could sleep all day.
>>62515407It feels so wierd being awake. I listen to the news too and I realized news anchor also works 8 hours.
>>62515334im forced to work 55 hours a week also my job is stressful because the stakes are high and small details matter. yes i want to kill myself about 30% of the time
>>62515513I had to sit infront the computer while my uncles filled out forms and I couldn’t walk away. Total was like 6 hours on and off. That’s what work feels like, 40 hours where you are just stuck there. Its weird being up and talking to people 30 minutes after walking up.
Is 40 hour work week comfy?
>>62515794I hate it. Feels like to much but I also got a 40min drive to and from work.
>>62515817Yeah man. I did like 12 hours “work” and I have no idea how people do 40 hours a week after week after week. It kills your soul.
>>62515334i used to work 6 hours a day but that was because it was good money with no drug test
Fresh Piketty just dropped. 1,000 hour work year by 2100
>>62515865I need to figure something else out. Ive got a good bit of money put aside but idk what to do.
>>62515334Sleeping until 2pm is weird
I work 65 hours a week, but then I get ~4 months off a year
>>62515334The secret is doing what you love to do, then having someone else pay you to do it.>I build things, someone notices and now wants me to build their things.>I build their things, then generalize it so I can sell it to other people who want said thing I built>Rinse, Repeat, >Now I am richIts literally that simple, but you are here asking WHY people do this lmao
