force Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 A question of curiosity to all enotalone readers: What is a typical day like for you? If you started from when you woke up to when you went to bed, what is your day like? Be as detail oriented as you want. Include what it's like on a typical work day and on your day off. I'm a sociology/psychology major so I'm interested in things people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

force Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 It's interesting how people get into their routines especially work days are one big routine usually. You both don't sound boring to me just busy. For me: Work day: Get up around 8 or 9 Let dogs out Go back to sleep till 10:30 or 11 Let dogs back in Make some carrot, cumumber, and celery juice Either watch TV or browsing on computer around 12:00 12:30 take a shower 1:00 eat lunch 1:30 leave for work 2:00 arrive at work 2:00 to 10:00 - work 10:00 go home and browse computer again or play a video game 1:00am watch TV in bed 1:30 or 2am - go to sleep ------------------------------- Day off: 10:00 - 11:00am - wake up watch TV in bed for about half an hour run any errands I may have (bills, or grocery shopping) come home and go outside and work in yard maybe if I feel like it walk the dogs Later if I feel like spending time with friends I'll call them up to make plans If not may clean house, watch a movie, eat dinner Sometimes I'll scratch all that and go to the casino for the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except some days I work or have night class. I can't wait to graduate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jul-els Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 My company has got me on an indefinite part time furlough right now, so I have lots of free time, but must be very frugal with my money. So a typical day goes: 7 am wake up 7:30 workout 8:30 make/eat breakfast 9:30 play bass 10:30 get ready for work 11:00 work 3:30 get home 3:30 play bass 5 workout 5:30 make/eat dinner 6:30 play bass/read/surf web 11:00 bed That's the typical. I know it sounds boring, but since my budget's gotten low, I've had to learn how to simplify my life pretty drastically. I've been going on for about a year like this though and now that I'm settled into it it's kinda cool. No hustle and bustle, no stress. It's actually quite peaceful. Although work has gotten as boring as hell. I'm holding on though. It's a good company and I've got 10 years there and have built up some seniority. I don't want to start at a new place if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidrose Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 What a neat idea for a thread! I'm a grant writer at a nonprofit. Most of my days are taken up by work and commuting: 6:15am - Wake up, get in the shower 6:45am - Feed cats and make and eat breakfast 7am - Start doing hair and makeup and get dressed 7:45am - Leave for work 8:30am - Arrive at work 8:30am-12pm - Work 12pm-1pm - Lunch with coworkers 1pm-5pm - Work 6pm - Arrive home from work, make dinner 6pm-9pm - Hang out, watch TV, Internetz 9pm - Feed cats, start getting ready for bed 10pm - Bedtime Wow. Sounds boring all typed out like that. Days off kind of vary, both in terms of activity and days (I usually work at two or three Saturdays or Sundays a month). But most weekend days I get up, have some tea and breakfast, run errands in the early afternoon, and then am in until the evening, when I go do something with friends.

I'm a sociology/psychology major so I'm interested in things people do. I'm always interested in that stuff too. I'll answer, but you might get really bored. I get up at almost exactly 7:20 every morning. Out the door by 7:45 (i do everything i need to do at night so mornings are very fast). At work by 8. Go to my office, log into my PC, go get my coffee, get back to desk. Start my day. Various things thru the day, won't bore you with my duties. I have a pretty lively work day every day. Get home between 5:45 and 7pm every night. Log into home pc. ENA is one of my sites I am on. CHeck email. Eat dinner somewhere in between. Shower. Get clothes ready for next day and all other pre work day prepatory activities. If something is on TV I like, i watch it. Somewhere between 12:30 and 1:30am its beddy bye time. Wow I'm boring. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i get done with my 2nd job go home. usually im home before 10pm or around that time. After 10pm - take a shower, talk on the fone with friends, surf the web, or watch a movie. usually go to bed a little bit after midnite. I work 2 partime jobs... so some days i work both jobs and sometimes i work 1 job. but thats pretty much my typical day... ugh i cant wait for the next day off from both jobs!

WomanWriter Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 What a good major. I share your interest and love reading about people's lives (hence, ENA). Anyway, a typical day for me...not so typical...but here's what I generally do M-F (since I am laid off) 7:00--Get out of bed, bathroom, take my pill, have breakfast and water, check email, and read from the Bible, taking notes. Shower, tidy up my room. Around 9:00--Plan my day. Sometimes my boss sends me work over the computer (I am a contracted writer) so I either write in the living room and then come to the computer to type OR I type in Word and email my work to her over the Internet. The work takes usually no more than 4 hours. Around Noon: Have lunch...sometimes I prepare dinner for me and my household Around 1--Apply for jobs online, read books about goal planning, future, etc. Take care of other business like looking into my MS...OR if I'm feeling lazy and depressed, I go on ENA and waste time. Around 4: My mom comes home from work and we eat dinner. Around 4:30---Therapy- Around 6---Phone calls with my girlfriends, check email again, or read. If it's warm out, I might exercise for about an hour--take a walk with my IPOD Around 7---Skills...I work on spelling, music, memory building, read for leisure, etc. Around 8:30--Depending on the day, I read religious works or attend Bible Study 10:00---Bed The weekend---Go out with my boyfriend or female friends, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
