Work & Life

So I've been given my (former) line managers portfolio of blocks to manage minus the biggest 10, 3 months into my 'trainee' contract. Feel like Walcott in the WC squad at 17, nah ijoke, the proving ground has come early, might have to defer the master by a max of one year just to take in some extra cash and prove to myself I am as good as these people think I am.

:lol:

 

This is a random question for everyone.

How long does your journey to work take?

Been offered a job but journey time is about 1 hour.

 

Longest I've had was up to 1hr 15mins each way.  combined with 8.5 hours shifts = long ass day.

 

Spent 3 years commuting around an hour. 

 

Now I walk to work in 15mins

 

OH HAPPY DAYS

OH HAPPY DAYYYYYSSSSS

Took me 1.30 - 2 hours at my old place hated it.

Now takes me an hour

That's still too long tbh.

 

2 hours is DEDICATION

 

assuming you work 8 hours its pretty much live-to-work (up at 6.15am?  home at 7pm?  eat wash then its pretty much time to sleep?)

 

Thing is, when I had a long working day...I just slept less.  5-6 hour sleeps became normal and I'd be exhausted every friday.

 

I feel SO much better these days not having to get up till 7.45 and getting home at 5.20.  Sleeping much better and finding more time to exercise / socialise.  Plus we finished at 1:30pm on a Friday which is fucking AMAZING

Starting to feel like life is dead and routine. Man needs a hobby other than pub visits every now and then after work.

 

Up at 7am, exit the spot at 8, get to work for 9, finish at 5 or 6, trek it back to the spot for about 7, Jump on the net while TV's running. Cook dinner, roll up to baseball bats, put on Discovery, or History or Eden channel..... pass out to that and fuck, it's 7am again. Luckily my commutes like 20 minutes, 30 tops.

Yeah I think 1 hour is about standard. Getting into to the central with the tube takes around about that roughly anyway, so I imagine most people working in the city have up to a hour journey give or take.

Money is not bad, but I NEEED to step up from where I am now. Im willing to make a hour journey for career progression, the big salaries can hopefully come after that. Also I can't be too picky right now considering the current job climate.
