I have an ok job in marketing, standard deal here (not in the US) which is 9 to 18. The bosses allow for semi-flex hours meaning if you're late, just make up the difference. But…
Almost every day, I got chores to do around the apartment or stuff to pick up. When I'm done, it's around 9pm and I'm already physically and mentally tired that I only want to shower and sleep.
No time for hobbies, socializing, or for myself on the weekdays. The weekend is the only time I have to relax and it's still not enough to reduce the piled up “burden”.
It's a living alright, but I sure don't feel like I'm alive.
