The problem with being out of work for so long is that I got in the habit of thinking of my days as “mine”. Now I resent working 9-5 because it sucks up all my time. How do I get back to the place where I simply accept that my job is my life (at least, during the day)?

It takes a lot of time. I’ve just had three weeks off, and had to work last Thurs & Fri. Still in mourning over the loss of free time.
Just show up for about 50 weeks, and then you might get some time off.

Buh. It’s hard, this working business. I do get so bored at home, however, that I end up missing the office when I’m away for very long.

some of my friends were GLAD to only have the 1 week off over christmas – madness i tell you!
cause i work from home, i feel like i’m at work 365 days a year .. :/ luckily most days go by really quick now
countdowns usually work for me – to the weekend, to the end of the month, to the next public holiday, ..

God, how I loath retail. I’m in absolute bliss that the holiday season is over. *sigh* countdown until I move onto a new job
