Coming home too damn tired to do anything else, even including chores, is top for me.

I have dishes lying around, laundry needing to be done at somepoint, some extra small tasks to do. But, trying to go 'above and beyond' for a shitty job just leaves you with nothing left to do them, having to waste time off to finally do them.

I'm in a building that's not my home, for 8 hours (used to have some days where it was 10 hours), a night. Where my company tries to tell me to treat their building that I work in, as a second home. Dealing with all of these tasks that ultimately mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Dealing with people who conveniently forget a lot of the time, as to how to be a normal human being and they being at your expense.

And in addition to coming home too damn tired to do anything else, I'm sometimes worrying if what I'm making now for however many hours, is enough to cover everything I need to have or want to have.

The well paying jobs that don't have massive amounts of overtime are 8-5.

I am not a morning person. Ever since starting an office job where I have to get up at 6 a.m. to get the kiddo to school so I can make it to work by 8:00 has been a continuously escalating level of exhaustion because it doesn't matter how much sleep I get, it is when.

It is less bad during the summer on the days I get to work from home as I can at least sleep till 7:30 or so. If I could just work 10-6 with no lunch I would never be tired again, but too many people in leadership positions see rising early as a virtue because that is what they were always told or they happen to be morning people.

No, don't tell me I have a sleeping disorder or I just need to work on going to bed early unless you tell people who wake up early that they should just sleep in. Different people have different sleep schedules and it only looks like a disorder because of social expectations.

I fully agree with you and I am a morning person. I don’t understand why in an increasingly distributed world why you can’t just have bands of start times. It’s better for productivity, better for distributed relations, heck probably even better for traffic congestion.

They want everyone in the office for the same hours so we can collaborate. But we don't need to collaborate for 8 hours a day and it is perfectly fine for people to come in at 7 and leave by 3:30, and hour and a half early, because of the stupid early to rise bullshit. But fuck me for asking if I could do the opposite when my kiddo is done with school and come in at 9:30 to 6 (half hour lunch required) because that would be too late in the morning.

It is all stupid.
