philmadelphia 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 Alright so I just started a full time job last week, and its great... money, people, work everything... but... its strange because I'm not into a routine yet as far as the workweek and the weekend go... Last week I just came home and watched TV for a couple hours then went to bed, repeat. Also drinking on Friday/Saturday night seemed like a waste because I spent half of my only two free days of the week recovering from the night before... so... What do you guys do when you come home from work? What do you do on the weekends? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a2visual 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 Most days I come home and watch TV, cook dinner, watch a movie, hang with the misses...I find it hard to drag myself upstairs to the office and stare at a computer screen some more. Sometimes I'll play some video games, sketch or read as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 I tend to base my leisure activities around what strangers on the internet suggest. Aside from that, when not working, I try to not work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

planetfour 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 look for more work, work on personal stuff if I'm up to it, a little gaming, dinner, a little TV wit the wife, adult swim, possibly fall asleep on the couch. Congrats on the FT work, pass some over this way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nerra 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 As much as I love design/mograph, I live for my life outside of work. Outside of the 9-5 I climb, play guitar, wakeboard, surf, ride bikes, read and now i'm just getting back into racing RC cars. I used to go out quite a bit at night but like you say, you waste most of your time recovering and feeling like crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philmadelphia 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 what kinda job did you end up getting I'm working at a small web design/SEO firm... about 6 other designers... I've been doing web designing, mostly wordpress based sites, but the company is small enough that I could be doing anything the customer calls for... I forget how nice it is to work with deadlines and other people... really forces your concentration... Anyone do any volunteering? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthonyc 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Anyone do any volunteering? volunteer fireman for the past 3 and a half years....i'm on call as soon as I get home from work! I can pick and choose what calls I want to go to. So if I get a call at 3am i can stay in bed, but most cases if it's a serious call i'm getting up. agreed w/ the kids comments..but to tell you the truth, if i didn't have kids i'd be bored out of my mind!

ClintVideo 1 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Just wait til you all have kids. Amen to that. But I do find tiny little snippets of time for: Photography Motorcycles R/C trucks Tennis Mountain Biking, Blading Shooting I'm chomping at the bit to have my little boys old enough to enjoy these things with me. I gave my two year old a ride on two of the motorcycles last night, and he thought that was pretty cool. Earlier in the day I took him and his one year old brother to the river to watch boats. We often visit construction sites to watch the big machines and the airport to watch airplanes too. Including them makes the fun stuff even more fun.
