Default Re: What\'s your preferred work-life balance?

Jesus I must be in a tiny minority. I like 60 hour weeks, it makes the weekends better. I don't feel like I can relax or party unless I've been working sufficiently hard.

This is ridiculous. You don't enjoy your weekends anyway?

My typical schedule looks like this -
Wake up around 7:30
Commute a long ass way to work
Work from 9-7pm
Arrive home a little before 8pm
Eat dinner

It's now 9pm, and if I want to be able to wake up and not feel like crap all day the next day, I really need to be in bed by midnight. That leaves only 3 hours a day to unwind/etc, and doesn't include any other crap I might have to take care of (grocery shopping, side projects, etc).

Maybe I'm just being idealistic, but my idea of life isn't spending 3 hours a day doing what I want to do and the other 21 hours working or sleeping.
