    You'll get used to it fast.

    I had to work indoor construction, and I was totally exhausted at first at the end of every day; but after a couple of weeks, I was back to normal.

    Keep on chooglin'.

    Work sucks big time, depending on the job...

    Im guessing this is some crappy factory job ? one of your first jobs ?

    I have worked one or two different factorys over the years and when you first start it almost feels like your body can't cope with the constant work rate, but aching feet adjust to standing all day, arms adjust to lifting all day...

    Discomfort and energy loss should reduce considerably as you get used to working all day, when i was a foot canvesser we would walk all day and at first my feet used to kill but after not to long i started to enjoy the walking and could happily have a game of football after work or something

    quickly put... it gets better....

    9 hours a day, 5 days a week? I didn't think that was allowed in the EU.

    What kind of work, physical or mental? If it's physical labor, you will probably get used to it. If it's mental, it kind of depends on how satisfying the work is.

    Well, there are worse things than working 9 to 5 weekdays. At least you get to bed at a reasonable time, get evenings to yourself and get the weekends off.

    You'll get used to it.

    During the exams we worked longer hours each day, every day of the week for about a month or two.

    Umeu, as charming as ever and so cute now you're all grown up

    I always wondered how people could happily go to their meaningless jobs every morning when all they do is make somebody else rich. How many people can honestly say that what they do is important in the big scheme of things?

    But I've decided that what's important in your life (your legacy, defining moments, whatever) is likely to be what you do outside of your job. A job will just be the way you sustain yourself while you wait for those important bits.

    If that makes sense.

    I am perfectly fine not caring about that, life isn't perfect. Neither am I, but oh baby do I come close.

    well im working because i have a goal... im making money to go on a trip... i wanted to go on that trip all my life... so I honestly dont care about the big scheme of things, i only care about my scheme of things... yeah its crappy pay, but i have no better alternatives... besides... are you having part in the big scheme of things when u sit home and do nothing? even less i guess... i agree with your last part though... it goes for most people... if work takes up the most wonderful moments of yur life... eith you are sad, or your life is :P

    and yeah, i still love you 2 :D

    I'm not getting at anyone. Nor am I suggesting my (jobless) life is any better. I'm just saying that the insignificance of things can be depressing.
