Weekend Reliance and Unlife Compliance

Sat Nov 8, 20:07 | Random

I’ve come to a point in my life where I literally live for the weekend. Not because I get to relax and enjoy it, mind you – but because I get the opportunity to work on my other projects I just can’t do at work.

When I arrive home, I either have headaches so severe that all I can do is go to bed and sleep until the next day comes, or I have so little time between a reasonable sleep and the next day’s work that I can’t really do anything.

9:00 AM – 8:00 PM is completely occupied by work (including travel time), 10:30 PM – 7:00 AM is taken by sleeping, and it generally takes me an hour and fifteen minutes to get ready for the day (usually from 7:30 AM to 8:45 AM). As you can see… there isn’t much time for anything else.

I’ve got meetings, preparation, organization, cleaning, everything under the sun to deal with right now, and of course winter has come and so my productivity plummets again.

Even though I did get something accomplished, I still feel like I wasted my weekend. And I hate that.

Even if things did get better, I wouldn’t have the time to work on it. And that just makes me feel even worse.


  1. Well, eight and a half hours of sleep every night is a very good thing…

  2. I sure wish I had that much time to sleep! Just wait till you’re actually at your apartment – factor in another hour for preparation and consumption of food and BANG – there goes the rest of your day!!
    Of course your current hour each way for travel will turn into a half hour each way, and your “extra hour” will get swept into some other perpetual meaningless task… like laundry.
    Welcome to Real Life.

  3. You just got a Wii Fit, you can replace your video game and TV time with sleep.
    I don’t watch TV, remember.
