A Day In Your Shoes

[Vernita]

Okay. I know this outs me as a sociology dork, but I wanted to know... What is a day in your life like? Try to be as honest as you can and use as little snideness as you can like saying "My life just sucks".
I'm just a curious little anthropology geek who likes to know silly things like this.
I'll start:

Since I work retail and my days off are random and cherished, I'll divide mine into Work Days and Free Days:

Work Days:
I usually get up between 1 and 3 hours from when I need to leave for work. I always shower first, then eat something for breakfast/brunch depending on what time it is. I usually try to squeeze in time for checking emails/chatting or playing a video game if I have the time. When I head off to work I usually carpool with a friend, reading a magazine in the car (usually Shojo Beat or GameInformer) and then I spend 5.5 to 12.5 hours at my job or jobs before carpooling home. When I get home between 10 and 11 pm I usually try to check emails again and squeeze in a game of something before my mate comes online. I spend time talking with him on AIM while I watch tv, a movie, or draw something... Then I go to bed in time to catch at least 6 hours of sleep before I have to get up again.

Free Days:
I wake up between morning and evening depending on what I'm doing and get on the computer first thing. I check emails again, respond to what needs to be responded to, and then hop on a game... Usually Final Fantasy Online. I hop from game to game for many hours, catch a catnap somewhere in there, eat bacon and graham crackers, usually find something for actual food somewhere in there and then do the internet chatty thing around 11pm again. Watchings of My Little Pony, Bucky O' Hare, Star Trek The Next Generation, MacGyver, and Stargate SG-1 are optional and often included in the day-off routine.

If I'm on holiday that means I'm with my mate... So that boils down to watching tv, getting killed in video games, snuggling, and scaring the staff at zoos as we dress up as our furry selves and talk to all the animals (seriously, humans just dont understand)

What's YOUR day usually like?

[The psyko ninja rabbit 2000]

Sounds fair. Seeing as how i am disabled, my days don't really change much.

My Day;
I usually wake around eleven. I stumble around and get to work on my computer to work on my writings. I spend a couple of hours working on them and then fix up a lunch or snack. I work on a few electronics and play a few games with my systems. Around seven at night, i cook up dinner and chat with friends around my apartment. Around ten, i chase off the nosy people and enjoy the peace and quiet. About Eleven at night, i come onto the MB Board and sit here for awhile. Finally, I fall asleep around three in the morning.

It is actually amazing how many people arestumped at teh fact of some of the things i do, despite i am mostly blind. ITs good for a few laughs now and then. ;D

Surfing? Wow. Now THAT I have never done. I don't really do sports I guess. Everyone skis around here... But I'm not much for strapping my feet to immobile sticks and careening down a cliff towards trees and rocks. I like sports that simulate the thrill of death... Like counterstrike and bond-
Nevermind.

I find myself not really 'watching' TV myself as well... I mean it's on alot when I'm home... Im just rarely actually looking at it. As a result I know alot of soundtracks and dialogue by heart ^.^

Train sim? Cool!

I must confess that I am a train enthusiast, but I don't spread it around much as there are some rough characters on this side of the city, and it is often considered a crime to be an individual. That is why I don't go outdoors much.

Hmm... If I was to answer this question at the beginning of June and all of the previous year, I would answer one way.
If I was answering at the end of June, it would be another way.
And if I was answering about this week, it would yet be another way.

But I guess that it would be best if I answer it according to the present:

**Monday - Friday**
Wake up at 5am and walk/jog/run around the neighborhood for about an hour.
Get back home by 6am to shower and get ready for work. I get to work between 7:30 and 7:45 and that's where I sit in front of a computer until lunch trying to fix a screwed up system. After an hour's worth of lunch, back to the same thing. I generally leave between 17:00 and 18:00 depending on how much work I have to do. I get home and relax, write, check email and MB's, then eat dinner. After dinner I relax some more waiting for the sun to go down. Once it is dark out usually by 21:30, I go swimming for fun but mostly for exercise. By 22:30 I'm in bed and hoping to fall asleep before midnight.

**Weekends**
If I don't have to work, I travel about 2 hours away to my house where my wife still lives. (I'm temporarily living with my parents until my wife and I sell our house and we find another place to live) I typically leave after work on Friday and stay until Sunday. I spend time with my wife and do some repairs around the house so that it will sell sooner than later hopefully. Work on my truck that is stranded there for the time being (I've almost got it fixed, just some more tweaking needed).

That's about how my days are at this time.

I didn't mean that surfing... i meant surfing on the net. If i like sports I wouldn't be this chubby, you know....XD Too lazy.

[Hush Mazmanos]

Ok Time to take it seriously aside from me messing around most of the day...

Weekdays (school)
...Well school of course
Then Play practice or track team practice
Go home have dinner
mess around rest of the day

Weekdays (no school)
Mess around until guitar lessons start
Doodle around with my guitar
sometimes I bike around my town
surf the net and check out the mb

Weekends is just full of both seriousness and mayhem and too manymention.! XD
