Right, I am baffled. Why on earth do people work? I have now been working properly now for over a month, and I cant work it out.
My obvious answer is money, however my job only just covers living costs... also there are so many other ways to make money and achieve an equal level of living.
What really annoys me is 9-5 though, you get up early work all day then collapse at home tired as hell... yeh you can go for a run after or go to the gym do a tesco shop but the rest of the day is gone.
You end up thinking weekends are great, and tbh they aint all that, like sundays everything is closed... so you end up doing house work.
I really don't understand this concept, it is so messed up...

Well, Try doing 7pm until 7am 5days a week, see how your life dissappears with no weekends off ever
Ive not long got in and if i didnt have to wake up at 12 id probs be in bed until 4pm lol.
Got a stretch of 9days straight starting saturday, should be fun.
Also as regards to living costs it all boils down to how much your making really lol

Some people work 9-5 and earn millions, their jobs covers more than just living costs. So for them there is no point of having to do alternate things to make money.

Luke, if you've got a better bloody idea for how the world can go round, please be my guest! You're not the only person in the world who works, and if you're only doing 9-5 mon-fri count yourself bloody lucky thats all you do!

Think yourself lucky with 9-5, I work shifts now (Including bank holidays and Christmas) and miss having weekends off, miss the bank holiday 'vibe'. There's nothing worse than getting up at some stupid hour on a Sunday morning and hearing some stupid, chirpy DJ saying how cold, wet and miserable it is outside but hey, it's the weekend and you can stay in bed! No, I can't!!!

I suspect Luke that you're like me, you're in a job which you don't like. You (and I for that matter!) need to find a job that you're happier in, makes getting up for it that bit easier and less of a hassle. Hopefully you'll find your nice fairly quickly, I'm now 30 and still don't have a clue about what I want to do for a career!

I work mon-wed 8.30am - 5.30pm, thurs 8.30am - 7pm, fri 8.30am - 5pm and every other saturday 9.30am - 4pm. Piece of piss lol, the only day i really don't like is thurs, that extra hour and half can be a drag sometimes.
I'm grateful that I only work these hours, I used to be in the hotel trade for 6years previous to this, now thats where u end up doing about 70hrs a week.
