    Default How do you guys do it? Getting through the week?

    Seriously, I really like my job because Im doing something related to my education background, but somedays I just really dont want to go through another work week. I sometimes find myself taking a day off in the middle of the week just to get through it. Luckily I get paid time off during the year so I can take a day off whenever I feel , but damn this sucks.

    So how do you guys manage to pull through the work week?

    lol Im sure it is boring for a lot of folks, but I enjoy working on systems and working with people, so its the best of both I guess. It has its days too. The pay is great and my boss is far away so I have free reign in the Atlanta office for the most part. Its not my job I hate, its just working in general

    I can't complain really. I work about 32hours a week and spend the majority of my time on the internet. Hour and a half lunch every and never work a weekend with about 4 weeks vacation.

    It does get boring at times, but it's so easy.

    considering my schedule fluctuates from 5-8days consecutive.....i still dont know how i make it happen. but the 4 days i typically get off after running like that makes it "almost" worth it.

    Its not that I hate my job, I actually enjoy it.. but sometimes it gets a bit repititious... that is what I dont like... its a joy to know after I work 5 days that I then in turn get 2 off... thats what keeps me going..lol

    hmmm i really dont have that problem at work. Havent had a day off besides the weekends in 2 years. I have vacation time I just dont use it lol. I come in move some stuff, play on the internet, run some errands for the boss. Sometimes I go home and work on cars when i get bored. The luxury of living 5 minutes down the street and your dad owning the company lol. The bad thing is my phone has to be on 24/7 and im always on call no matter what im doing
