What's your usual day like? Do you like being you? What would you change (if anything)?

I get up about 6am. Shower. On the train by 7:30, into work by 8:15ish. Work until 6 or 7 in my office of 4 people; then gym some nights, and home by 7:30 or 8:30.

Generally not bad and I can't complain - making money, enough to be building up savings and start a family (via marriage) soon. It's routine though and there are certainly times when I wish it weren't.

Up at 6:30, at work until 3. Coach until 6, home by 7. Game days don't get home until 8-9. Get paid below national average, but I enjoy what I do so I'm happy with it.

Well life recently just changed for me.

Used to be up at 530, on the train by 615/630 work by 745/8. Work until 5 (some days 7) commute 90 min (on day baseball games over 2 hours) home by 630 get some exercise shower, eat and have an hour or so of free time before I went to bed. Work at least 1 weekend a month. Did that for about 6 before I got a new job thank god.

New job up at 645, office by 8 work til 5, home by 530. Work is challenging and no complaints so far.

If I were to do it all over again, I know I wouldn't choose the same profession. Not a chance in hell. I'm "in too deep" at this point, though.

MWF - Up at 5:00, lift 5:30-6:30, work from 8:00-3:30.
TR - Up at 6:00/30, work from 8:00-3:30

Best times are during BBall season, b/c I get more workouts in, running up and down the court.

Up between 7:30-8:00 most days. If I had a long night I'll sleep til 9. At work by 8:30 (or 9:30 if I sleep in). Done at 4:30 (5:30). Crossfit on days I leave at 4:30. Pretty boring.

A lot has changed in the last year for me. It looked like this for about 12 years. I was up around 8 call to see what was on the schedule. Get ready head to the job work till 3 come home get ready for my second job. Go to work at 430 get off at 330. Unfortunately I lost my second job about a year ago so everything is kinda different now. I have been going back to school to get my certifications. Its up at 8 call to see what is on the schedule go to work till 4 then to school till ten.

Wake up 4:30/5:00 every day including weekends, work smart not hard, enjoy everything I do at work, love to work both physically and mentally keep me young at heart, take off when I want and leave when I want, I like who I am and who I have become. Found the love of my life, built a home/family, successful, three lovely daughters, have a strong faith in God, servied my country, good health, lived life to the fullest took risk, failed and achieved, some of the things I have done some will only dream of or have nightmares about..

My only reget in life is I wish I had a better education and not screwed up so much in my youth..
I paid a heavy price for my action but many of those events shaped who I am so it not all bad...

On sidenote with waking up.

Anyone else not have to use an alarm? Ever since I had to get up at 4am for 6 months straight I have an internal clock that I get up when I basically need to without an alarm. If it is 6am or later I usually always wake up to whatever time I know I have to. Kinda wierd but it works!

Well I bang a lot of girls usually of above average attractiveness and get paid a lot of money to sit on my ass all day playing around with Microsoft Excel. It's pretty sweet being me. :thumbup:

I take power naps (10 minute) so sleeping at night and waking up at give time is a natural thing I can do.
The only reason for the alarm is for the wife to wake up...</SPAN>


Note: The dog and I are on the same time schedule</SPAN>

Wake up at 6:55, shower
Leave for work at 7:20
Work from 7:30-4:30, breaking for lunch at 11:30 where I usually drive home and eat. Hate where I work, but the pay is OK for my age.
Get home around 4:45, typically run a few miles if the weather is nice, but never on consecutive days.
Usually shower again
Eat dinner
Play video games/compute
Sleep
wake up at 4:26a every night and take a leak
Wake up at 6:55, start over.

Women are expensive and occupy valuable free time. I enjoy watching sports in my underwear, and eating Skyline 3 times a week without being judged.

I'm usually up between 8-9 and I start work as soon as I wake up (one of the nice things about working from home). Spend the day dealing with plenty of conference calls, webex meetings, and bullshit. I usually finish up my day between 6-7 depending on how busy it is. During launch times, I'm usually at the computer from 7am-11pm.

Twice a week, I cut out at 6 no matter what, get ready, and go to either hang out at the comedy club or perform at some show. I usually have to finish some stuff up for work when I get home on those nights.

In bed by about 1am.

Wake up between 6:15-6:45, depending on whether I wash my hair.
Leave for work around 7:30-7:40.
Work from 8 until 5, with a break for lunch at 1.
Gym from 5:15-6:15ish several times/week.
Random errands/tanning/etc. some nights.
Home anywhere between 6:45 and 7:30 or so.
Dinner, news and then TV shows until about 10 or 11.
Sleep and repeat.

It's not bad being me. The daily routine works out well, my boss sucks but my job is good. Good family and friends. Usually some kind of shenanigans to be had on weekends.
