that must be hard working 6 days a week ,i have a pretty rubbish job (but im been redundant in july) but i like to get my work over with and then have long stretches off ,at the moment its a 4 day weekend then a 3 day weekend leaving loads of time for the coastal walks and bodyboarding i mentioned in the last post.
i will make sure my next job is the same ,shifting that work life balance is life changing imho
Its frustrating as I spend most of Sunday, my only day off doing housework, catching up on cleaning etc and getting ready for the next week, and just resting.
Its also difficult as I don't really have much time to see my partner or my parents or friends.
I'm treating this job as an in-between job while I figure myself out and put effort into my future. With my last job in McD, it consumed almost every minute of every day, even when I had time off or was on holiday I was working, or helping my colleagues with issues etc, so it was difficult to enjoy myself and my life, i've definitely learn't a big lesson.
Current job is extremely easy, I just drive around the south west delivering parts to other branches, its a no brainer job, so helpful for me at the moment so I can earn money and work on myself.
Having said that, (and partially replying to what
@Stephanie Peterson said) I tried to learn as many skills as I could, whilst also researching varying subjects relating to science, mechanical stuff etc, I taught myself to fix smart phones, tablets etc, had IT experience from a previous job, this turned into a small side income, I had a small ebay "business", taught myself a lot about car mechanics, which ended up me doing a lot of work on my own cars, plus friends and family cars, people would come to me for help and i'd fix it for them. Also ive done gardening and DIY tasks since a young age, my Dad being disabled relied on my help a lot, so spent a lot of time doing that, I even go home now and do stuff for them, I've always enjoyed that though, using tools to complete a task, aswell as being creative, I've done a number of building jobs around the house aswell all self taught stuff, most of my time on my PC / phone is looking into subjects, trying to understand new stuff etc, even currently teaching myself welding.
I guess a passion for my is being creative, making / building things, i'm not doing it for a living at the moment, im not sure if its a confidence issue, or if its just of no interest to me, but I've taught myself loads of stuff but I never see them as being a job for myself, I am working on myself so hopefully will work it out soon enough.
