Weekends as an Adult really suck :francis:

must be nice to have a Monday thru friday gig

these a$$holes complaining don't know how good they got it

 

[fact]

In my twenties, I did the same shyt every weekend, for like 1000 weekends consecutive (barring holidays and vacation(s))

• Friday- Get home from work, usually around 3, take a nap until 7:45, sharp
• Order a pizza, or sub, just stock up on carbs
• Kill a 12 pack of bud light, a big (double) of my Jameson 12 yr
• Get a cab to my favorite dive bar for 10pm (cheap bears, and knew the owner, so I would always get free drinks) stayed there until 12:30, getting fukking blotto
• Got a cab to a more happening bar/club, ALWAYS bacherlette parties, birthdays, girls nights out, so ALWAYS women
• That’s when I always either scored, or blacked out
• The percentage was around 75% black out/ 25% scored, poor ratio, but still for the number of time spent, significant amount of strange.
• If didn’t score, always made it to my end of night dive, where I also was friends with the owner. This bar has all the strippers from the 2 strip clubs down the street, after their shifts, and a decent DJ.
• If I ended up there, I knew it was either a cab home or call my 4am girl, who obsessed over me, but I just couldn’t commit in any way to her. I always regretted that decision the next day morning. She lived in kind like a jr. Project, about 20 miles from my house, and I have this weird thing where if I am not at my house, it doesn’t matter if I went to sleep at 5 am, drunk as fukk.....I wake up exactly an hour later, ready to go back to my house. It’s hard as fukk to get a cab to pick you up at 6 am. I always ended up walking to the diner down the street, eating a full breakfast and waiting to find a cab to get me
• If I ended up at home, it would be at about 4:30. My house is on a culdasac, but what’s unique, is that at the end of the culdesac is a service exit with a 24hr McDonald’s. So I would pay the kid working the register and the grill, to make me all sorts of weird combonation shyt like “secret menu” shyt you read about. It sounds corn, but I was always drunk as fukk, so whatever.
• I would bring the food home, end up passing out before I ate any of it, usually.
• Woke up around 11am, hungover as fukk.
• Recovered until Monday morning.

Working is nice but there's only so much time in the day... it seems like when your at work time is slow, but on the weekends when you enjoying yourself time flies...

It’s the main reason people feel overworked. Most job sites give two weeks of vacation/sick time. Some give more.

But still, Americans don’t use it. They scared of work overload when they leave, scared to have the boss fill their spots, scared cause “but what if I get sick and need it”

Bump that. You NEED time away from work. That’s straight up science facts. You need a break and to unwind. People fought for that time off law. Not so you can feel bad about using it and still work as if you never had it

If you can’t stay up on a Friday, or get things done during the week. If you can’t even enjoy a weekend... you definitely need an extra day off

Sick time is one thing.

But the number one reason I don't use vacation time is so I can cash out on that shyt when I'm on to the next job (lot of times it ends up funding a big part of moving expenses/initial rent payment).

Granted, I have work obligations on weekends -- or whenever a team of mine has a game, since I work in sports information -- and I'm the kind of person where I don't see a point of taking a day out of the office if I still have something to account for whether I'm there or not.

That said, you're absolutely right. I know I have to do better in that regard.

Be your own boss brehs...

I wasted a lot of time and money doing the same thing. Looking back it was a huge waste. I could have been doing memorable shyt like traveling. But, I'd rather waste $50-100 a night on overpriced booze and chasing hos. We've got this cultural thing that tells us that's what your 20s is about, I wish I was smarter with my time and who I spent it wiht.

Fun as hell. Muddy. I live in korea so we just went to a spot and rented them joints out. Rode through the forest in the fall and some flat land. I'm not use to it so of course I was going slow compared to other people. Not about to break my leg haha.

 

[A1aaa]

i wake up early sat / sun these days (~530 am) to workout and get errands / tasks done... i'm in a demanding profession and i cherish my free time.

girls be like "lets go out" on fri or sat ... if you not tryna fukk with a entertaining documentary and a well-prepared meal / takeout at my spot, i'm literally leaving your ass on read. fukk being in an overpriced, overpacked club unless we have a table.


ironically, though, i travel semi-often for work abroad and that's when i'll be extremely on one

If you take care of your errands during the week, less weekend stress.
If you go out during the week, more time on the weekend.
The average American should not be tired coming home from work Friday afternoon.

 

[EndDomination]

I don't know about you guys but I wake up early on the weekends. 6:30 and I'm up. I can bang out some work in the first couple hours of the day before I go play some soccer.

This, a lot of people treat structure like its a weekday-only thing, and the weekends like a free-for-all.
Structure for both, with room for rest, fun, and relaxation, is important.

America as a society hasn't quite grasped how to incorporate work and leisure in a day to day fashion. People think M-Friday afternoon = Work. Friday Evening - Sunday = Me time.

In Europe, I'd find people would even go to a bar on a Monday afternoon and meet up with friends, or go to a park on a Tuesday evening after work and read a book. Come Friday, it wasn't like they needed to get smashed to have a good time.

Yep. I found when I gave structure to my weekends I enjoyed them more. I mix in some real work with fun things. You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish when you structure your weekends well.
