Thank you. I have a great job, with people I enjoy working with. It's relatively safe, pays well, and I get to do interesting and different things almost every day.
But I leave the house at 6am and don't get back until 5pm, and that's just because my commute right now is super short. I'm physically exhausted to the point that walking across the street from where I park my car to my porch is embarrassing, as I've worked all day and then sat stone still for 30 minutes. I hobble like a 90 year old woman.
If my job was 3 days a week at 10 hours, I think I'd be pretty happy. But my job doesn't work like that, and if it did then I'd be broke.
I get the end of work day hobble. Some weeks i work 6-7 days a week 10 hours a day. I live alone so chores really grind to halt on weeks like that. Then on my first day off i have to spend half of it doing chores. I wish i could have a better work life balance but i can't meet my financial goals working less and im not eager to hop into the job market again.
Ive recently moved to a new city and despite being here 2 years, ive not met a single friend outside of work mostly because im too exhausted to socialize and i can't justify the money going to a bar or something. The inconsistency of my work schedule also makes evening clubs or sports difficult to join as many days i work until 7 or 8 pm and I won't know that until a day or 2 in advance.
