What do I do when I get home from work Get high and Xbox live

number 8 mad me laugh...sorry

when i get home, i change and get to the gym for a bit -then home cook dinner eat & chill with a wine.

P.S welcome back

There is nothing wrong with huge amounts of wine.

I really believe that cleaning your room is really quite overrated. Also along a similar line, since i am sitting in front of a computer, drink vodka and orange juice, with my room in shambles, I don't entirely buy that everything is daises. As for what you do when you get off work I generally go for starting to cook dinner, though its not the most exciting, with some good music playing and the thought of having good food it can be enjoyable.

Does there need to be a border between work and play? I think the very concept of that lends to making work tedious.

Dear, your life sounds like it is becoming more like mine, though I shun the therapy. Best advice: assign a significant other or best friend with the task of making you go out at least once a week. Other than that, I don't think you can avoid the workaholicism. It's probably in your blood.

I will say one thing helps me relax. Planning really elaborate, bizarre meals and forcing myself to procure the ingredients, figure out how to put everything together and eat with a glass of wine. Sure the meal isn't ready until ten or eleven, but the process is the goal. It's meditative for me, but without the guilt of feeling like I'm doing nothing.

Welcome back.

Well when I get home from work. I either,

1.Go to bed cause I had a 16 hour shift
2. Watch a movie
3. Have a few beers and watch a movie.
4.Have a few beers and hop on xbox.

But hey thats just me I work night shift so not much to do at 3am.

It looks you've been really busy welcome back!!!
I usually work from home but when I finish I do:
read a book
listen music
cook (it relaxes me)
watch tv or a movie

Where do you want to go to school?

And the dem primaries are a pretty unique, wonderful and awful thing to obsess about

I've been obsessing over the Democratic primaries too. This Obama speech yesterday was a bombshell and it finally raises the level of dialogue again. I was so disappointed with the schoolyard nonsense going on between him and HIllary for the past month.

I've always had a hard time balancing work and free time too. I work freelance so I sometimes have a few weeks where I'm not working at all. But when I am working I work about 16 hour days and so I obsess about not getting enough exercise, sleep, etc. I also want to go out and have some fun. It's been hard to do. I've been doing this for a while and I haven't quite figured it out yet.

But I do know that sometimes you just take the moments when you can get them. That's all I've learned.

So tell me about the grad school applications and such. Where are you applying?

My post-work routine unfortunately revolves too much around TV. I'll usually start with Cash Cab from 6 to 7 and News Hour with Jim Lehrer from 7 to 7:30. Jeopardy from 7:30 to 8. From there I flip among various news channels, obsessing over the Democratic primaries like you. I'll usually try to catch a rerun of Keith Olbermann. After that, I'll try to catch up on whatever I've TiVo'd. That used to be The Wire and Dexter, but this week it's John Adams. Exciting right? Are you still awake?

No, this actually sounds like pretty good stuff, overall.

I have a bit of a dilemma about how to best occupy myself after work as well. Too tired to work on the house, sick of watching political stuff for the time being (besides, they changed around the times on Countdown), and I need to take a break on the drinking. What do I do? Very confusing stuff.
