Thursday ,

I tell people time and time again that work starts at 9 and end at 3pm, everything after is shuffling paper and killing time.

I started working a 6:30am-2:30pm job and it’s life changing. The first hour is just getting settled, I spend lunchtime organizing my calendar and Emails, and I still have time for a full day of activities after work.

I am super jealous. Imagine finishing work and have time to hang out with your friends and family. Living the dream.

Being up that early (for me) means I need to be in bed by 10pm, so home by 9. Most of my friends are not available at 3pm and usually stay out until 10-11. It can lead to feeling very isolated in my experience.

I’m not OP but I worked a 6-3 job for a year or so, gladly swapped it out for a 10-7pm, get to sleep in and stay put late.

But it’s all about preferences and priorities.

I think that the stage of life you’re in would also play a huge part in what hours you’d prefer. When I was single, I’d prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I’m married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.

I’m single and I enjoy the early work because it means I have more time after work to do things with friends (or go to the gym or whatever)

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

I guess if your friends are available before normal work hours end, it makes sense.

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

Most definitely. Most of my life was external to my home, so having others available at the same time was important. I’d probably feel much the same as you if I had a family.

My workplace only requires me a few things: to get shit done before deadlines and to be present in company meetings, which usually happen between 9:00 and 12:00. And I also have virtually unlimited holidays, sick leave, etc as I live in Europe. I’d never move to the US to work.

i wish i could do that, but my body is not programmed for such early rising. i tried and it is a wonder i didnt crash my car on the way to work

Kit ,

It’s definitely not for everyone! I’m one of those weirdos who wakes up super early every day naturally. My partner, on the other hand, naturally sleeps til 10 or 11.

Well, jobs are different. It’s just that sometimes you get too tired to do anything effectively an hour or two before your work technically ends.
