#*working hours

[seraphinitegames]

Wait does our MC has only one day off not the whole weekend? I know Tina mentioned at some point that she has the whole weekend off. No wonder they are so tired

The MC gets two days off a week, but sometimes they aren't all in one go. Depends on their shift...and how I need it to work for the story, hehe! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Regarding the meal time question, in North-America, from my observation at least, most people who work ''regular'' day jobs go to bed between 21 h and 22 h, maybe 23 h if they're more of a night owl. Long commute time to work are pretty common, especially in public transit, it can take 1 hour or more to get to work so people might have to get up early even if they start work at 8 or 9 am (in offices, 8h-16h or 9h-17h is pretty common)

I guess it makes sense, but it’s pretty similar in France : work starts at 8 or 9 and ends at 6 or 7pm, and a lot of people have 30 min to 1 hour commutes, so I don’t know what makes dinner time so different.

Basically no one finishes work before 4 pm and not that many people finish before 6 pm so I guess it accounts for a lot of the difference. By the time we’re home and we’ve cooked it’s already around 8 pm.

I was a little horrified because as a night owl I’m already out of steps with working hours here, but if I had to wake at 5 am, work, eat dinner at 6 pm and go to bed at 9 pm, I would just die. (I’m being mostly genuine here: I would get so sleep-deprived that it would definitely have serious consequences. But I guess for early birds it’s pretty ideal.)

Work Hours

I didn't get any work outs in this morning as well, but I did manage to hit 9k steps again today (which, of course, I subtract 1-2k from since it's never really accurate) at work. I worked from 9am-5pm with my only boost of energy coming from coffee I had in the morning and the constant humming of Steven Universe soundtracks. I'm gonna count this as work too since I did it as soon as I got home and I've done it before at work; I helped my mom out with making some breadfruit balls for a catering job she got for Saturday.

Class Hours

There were no classes today. I genuinely went back and forth with wanting to practice math on my own or waiting for the next class, which is tomorrow, since that'll be the class that we actually start doing math. I settled with waiting until tomorrow since I really needed some sleep (got 3 hours in alone the night before)

Personal Hours

I took my last shower of the day, brushed my teeth, made my bed, and laid there scrolling through Tumblr and listening to music. I attempted to write a poem as well after spending almost an hour reading some of Charles Bukowski's poems from the collection Love is a Dog from Hell.

the main problem with this time of year is the irresistible urge to get fully into bed at like 5:34 pm and outside is like yesss, yesss do it, it's what you deserve yesss. like is it depression or is it just november

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

“broken builds” this. “use the orb” that. you fools. the true best strategy to beat honour mode is to encourage safer and smarter decisions throughout your adventure by roleplaying as none other than faerun’s central authority on occupational safety and workplace accident prevention legislation

been seeing homies get deep into "the terror" and making me want to rewatch SO i spent two hours in the dead of night reading the wiki/the subreddit/other linked articles and like. one of those articles was deadass fucked up

there was a woman who spoke inuktitut who was writing a book containing a lot of inuit oral histories, and in nunavut she was able to hear passed-down recollections of when survivors from the franklin expedition were passing through

and like. i can't imagine being an inuit family/group, knowing that europeans exist but having never seen them, seeing 8-9 shambling, blue-skinned, cold-to-the-touch out-of-their-minds white men come wandering by. they invited the men inside their igloos for warmth, for food, to be hospitable. the men refused to eat, refused to speak, and when trade was offered, clutched their possessions close and refused to entertain the idea of trade. this was, offputting, to say the least. the group set them up in their own igloo, with their own fire, and left three whole seals for them to eat. and then they fled cause what the FUCK get out of there. they came back in a few days to check on the strangers. the three seals were completely untouched, while all of the men had killed and eaten each other

i mean. fuck dude. there are obviously pretty dark angles to view the franklin expedition from– honestly can't think of a good angle, it's pure colonialism and british exceptionalism– but that specific interaction, that inuit group who were living lives as normal until a dozen fucking walking dead showed up and did cannibalism. no wonder that story got passed down, i'd be shitting my pants if i saw that

Feeling an incredibly weird specific nostalgia but what piece of media defined 2020 for you (as in you spent that year with it) mine is mtv's catfish

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

Having a cat in winter time is very very dangerous they don’t warn you.

“It’s cold.” I knew that part. I’ve been through 27 “it’s cold”s in my life. “It’s cold AND there’s a soft little cat asleep on my bed with me”? Dangerous. Absolutely dangerous. You will never ever get up again.

Men's Employment Crisis: Only 41% Experienced Steady Careers

Contrary to the long-held view of steady employment, only 41% of baby boomer men followed a consistent work trajectory. This finding challenges traditional notions of the male breadwinner role and its impact on men's health and social status

In a groundbreaking study by Penn State and Ohio University (The Myth of Men’s Stable, Continuous Labor Force Attachment: Multitrajectories of U.S. Baby Boomer Men’s Employment by Adrianne Frech, Jane Lankes, Sarah Damaske, and Adrienne Ohler), researchers have unveiled the complex nature of American men’s workforce participation. Contrary to the long-held view of steady employment, only 41% of…
