I work in a tech-field and for most jobs I’ve been on there’s been core business hours that you’re expected to be in your office which gives all the workers a little bit of flexibility. Core business hours are usually around 10am to 1pm. How it works is you do your 8 hours however you want, so long as the building is open, and you are in the office during core hours. We have a good-sized early morning group, also a smaller group (usually younger) that comes in later in the morning and hang out til 6 and then go out for drinks afterwards. Most of the jobs also allow people to flex their hours within reason. So you can work a 8+ hour day to work a shorter day later.
This little bit of flexibility is so great - allows parents more time with their kids, going to appointments, avoiding traffic, etc. Literally saves you so much in PTO and $$, as well as other residual benefits to your health and wellbeing.
EDIT - For clarity, they usually don’t show semi-flexible/flexible work schedules in job postings, but definitely ask during interviews. Let’s be real, a 4-day, 8-hour/day schedule won’t manifest in this lifetime, so this and WFH are the next best things.
Worked a 2-10pm shift and actually loved it. Its definitely lifestyle-dependent but it suited people who were younger and single. A group of us would go out to bars/clubs right after work and the be able to sleep in. The best part of this middle shift is that its not hard on your circadian rhythm AND you get to avoid most management presence for your shift.
Looks like you might want something non-traditional so without knowing anything about yiur budget, lifestyle, yard size, or HOA here’s some random ideas:
I have a 4bd/2ba that I want to add another bathroom to. There is a small “office” (it’s not big enough to be considered another room) that I would like to convert to said bathroom. The two existing bathrooms are right next to each other in the rear of the house and the water cutoff is in front of the property, on the...
Not a super thorough answer but if you’re thinking about a full bathroom vs a half, one thing that may come up is the current size of your water heater and the size of your family. 3 showers running simultaneously and/or water appliances may warrant getting a larger size heater which will add to the price of the project.
Is it just me or are 9-5 hours naturally the most stifling?
for me at least, 8 hours any other time of the day is less bad than the constant awful grind of 9-5...
