I worked 6-6 M-F for a year, and 6-3 M-F for a few years

social life existed because of having no kids and getting little sleep. I didn’t waste time with doctors appointments or important stuff like that. I’d pop out “early” at 2 or 3 pm if I needed to for appointments.

now, I’m an office worker, but with a flexible schedule that lets me get that “business hours” stuff done when I need to. it’s wonderful and benefits both me and my employer.
