Wake at 7:00 AM
Arrive to work at 8;30 AM
Lunch at 1:00 PM
Resume work at 2:00 PM
Finish work at 6:00-7:00 PM
Arrive home at 7:30-8:00 PM
Do chores until 10:00PM-11:00 PM
Sleep until 7:00 AM

Is there more to it? It seems all I do is work work and work, no time to do anything else. I want to exercise, go out like everyone else does. Hell, even the secretary leaves before my team and I do.

Am I getting ripped off? Is this asking too much? I don't know. :(

get a job with less hours.
If your getting payed heaps then get over it.
take 1/2 hour for lunch as opposed to an hour.
WTF are you spending 2 hours on chores for? Stop being anal retentive you fucking faggot.
What the fuck are you doing on the weekends?

Take more time off.
If you're getting paid well enough, try to cut your hours.
Go to a club for lunch.

What the hell do you do?

I live on my own. That means I have to prepare my own food, lunch for tomorrow, clean my house, laundry, etc, before it turns into a hellish mess. I know it does.

Web developer, DB management, web services, Some .NET (In before faggotry. Hey, it feeds me.), C++, some assorted applications, and sometimes debugger for other teams.

Well paid. I suppose you are very good at what you do. But a bit low for me, would not pay my expenses with just 800 weekly. I have to support my mother and sisters back home, you see.

Well, yes. As you can possibly imagine, I'm your typical mexican coder that came to US for work. Got a work right away, but it's kind of killing me.

No, I am here legally, permission to work here and all. No swimming, jumping fences or going through the desert for me.

>>4 here, no I'm not "very good" at it, but then again it's amazing how much they'll pay someone who pretends to know about "aesthetics" "user interface design guidelines" and is "experienced in the design of professional enterprise-quality robust and scalable applications interfaces" to arrange the controls in dialog boxes and such probably not much better than an organized artistic 10-year-old.

I wake up at 7, get a bath, get out of my house at 8, I arrive at work at 9 (yes, that's a one hour long travel), I eat from 13 to 14, I get off work at 18, then I get to the university at 19 (yes, that's a one hour long travel), and get off university at 22~23 and I come home at 22.30~23.30. Eat quickly, then sleep.

Wouldn't it make more sense to work only half of the year in your soul-eating job and live cheaply in a third world country for the rest of the time?

No, Anonymous. It ain't so easy. Even if I were to do that, my expenses would eventually get to me really fast. And being idle for too long is a bad, bad idea.

Hell, Mexico IS expensive. The only cheap to live places are those little towns you never hear about and with difficult to pronnunciate names.

When we couldn't find any programmers to hire, we considered hiring full-time masseuses to lure them in.
