You work your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Yes, of course it's not nearly enough money as you want to get.

I'm like “No, I do like money, I just don't like overworking myself and driving myself crazy not even having down time.”

I'm completely against this, but all my other coworkers of course are mad whenever I “get out of it” because they have to do it.
