What do you do after work?

Make dinner for the little one and my wife. We then go down to the beach if the weather is good (it normally is during summer) and then play or swim there. Come back, sit in the garden or play with little one until her bedtime then put her to bed. If I'm lucky I do some sex on my wife and then it's the next day.

Good times.

And quite a few benefits/perks...and eventually the role i am in now could lead me to my dream job. :)

Well I'm glad you do. Because if you slept 9 hours a day like me you would end up with a mere 30 hours a week to yourself, if you don't count the 3 sleepy ones you get each work night after your 12 hour day.

Your free time is only half of the time you spend working. :(
 
You lot make life sound so depressing. But then again, my gap year, working full time, sent me into a state of depression I haven't quite recovered from :p

What hours do you work?

I'm usually up at 6, leave home around 6:45 and get to the office just before 8.
Leave somewhere between 5:30 and 6 generally and then arrive home between 6:30 and 7.

I reckon that's pretty average among my friends, I know some people that work a lot longer hours than that too.

Well I get up at 6, leave the house by 7, arrive at work for 8.

Then I'll leave at about 5 and get home for 6ish.

I know quite a few friends that do similar.

Answering the OP's question:

Gym/Out with Friend(s)/straight home
Dinner
Gaming
TV in bed with laptop
Sleep
 
I feel like my whole life is a big rush...

Get up 6:50
Leave house 7:15
drive 100 miles to work
arrive work 8:30
work till 5:45
drive home 100 miles
go straight to gym for 7:30
circuit training or weights
home for 9
either take-away and a film
or go out with the missus for dinner
bed about 12:30

Neither of you ever cook? Although I suppose if I had to drive 100 miles instead of walk 5 minutes I might feel differently about cooking.
 
Up at 5:30am
work at 7am
Finish at 2pm
Gym by 3pm
out by 4-5pm
eat
relax
stuff
sleep

So used to early mornings now.Love it. Would hate starting a job at 9pm again.

Thats insane amount of driving. A good portion of your pay goes straight into driving to and from work. Thats rough.

I'm in Dubai so 20p/litre for petrol, but still costs a bit. All motorway but it's still a killer after a long day.

Yeah at the moment neither of us cook as take-away is cheap and we both have lots of flatmates who get in the way in the kitchen. Moving in together soon though and plan to cook a lot more
 
What I do after work:

Arrive home.
Open front door, get molested by dog.
Observe iPhone as to what the several dozen "bongs" were (I receive work e-mails to my phone).
Quickly glance at new email messages by subject and 1st line of content. Kick dog from around my feet and order her to the sofa, or somewhere.
Quickly categorize, shove in a task or two (calendar linked with my outlook/exchance calender) to remind myself in the morning; curse my colleagues for saving the "cakes available in the staff room cuz its my birthday" emails until after I've left the office, etc.
Forget about work. Make fuss of dog (give dog iPhone to play with).
Head to kitchen/scotch cabinet (depends on day of week and how hard/annoying that day was).
Pour myself a large one (ribena, water, diet coke, Glenmorangie, whatever).
Pour dog a large one (last night's left overs - I wan't REALLY gonna eat chilli concarne 2 days after I made it... was i?).
Crash on sofa.
Get molested by dog. I claim any white stains are toothpaste and strictly not anything else.
Fick on TV. Power up netbook.
Talk to wife/dog (depends on talking mood of both).
Consider what's on TV (virgin media cable, often SOMETHING to vegetate to).
Consider making way to "the den" for some gaming (either console or PC).
Arrange food (wife, food, make, now.). Or more accurately, ask wife what she wants to eat, then make whatever meal I dreamt of that day anyway.
Fast forward a few hours...
Order dog outside for toilet time.
Curse dog for toileting in neighbours garden verbally (so wife can hear) but secretly praise dog for crapping over that arrogant ****'s rose bushes (so wife can't hear).
Wife hears my doggie praise and surmises my verbal rebuke was false. I get it in the ear.
Do my own ablutions - no problems going in sink from the door threshold if wifey is crimpign one off. Well, I don't have an issue with it!
Go to bed.
Kick dog off of bed, order into basket.
Snore.
Get kicked out of bed myself by wife.
Adopt sofa as new home.
Sleep.
Wake up as call-o-nature calls at approx 5.30 every morning (useful feature, this!).
Make toast/tea for wife.
Enter martial bedroom.
Find wife and dog both asleep on bed.
Kick wife out of bed with her cup of tea.
Make fuss of dog and feed dog toast.
Order dog to do toilet in garden, paying attention to not let him in to next doors garden (neighbour now awake, de-icing his car).
Get ready, start to de-ice car.
Kick dog out of car - no dogs at work any more after "that" incident".
kiss wife good bye.
Drive to work.

Rinse and ****ing repeat 6 days a week. GAH!.
 
WHen i was working in poundland over chirstmas (yes you may laugh it was poundland but you dont realise how hard the staff work in them places for the crap money they get)
By the time i had stood at a till from 11 till 6:30 (have 2 breaks) i got home and basicly just fell into bed so did nothing but work and sleep. Poundland staff work very hard for the £4.93 they get paied an hour.
 
Up at 6:15/30 leave for work at either 6:40 or 7:45 depending on which site im working at. Mondays home about 5:30 or 6:30. Tuesday-Thursday either football training or night school go straight from work so home about 9. Friday finish work at 2:30/3.00 :)
