    It’s a bit rude to say “8 hours at work, 8 for recreation, 8 for sleep” when the work is actually half an hour to an hour longer with the alleged “lunch break”, and eats into the recreation time typically an hour at each end

    So really it’s 8 hours at work, 3 hours work related, 5 hours recreation (nb recreation time is also spent in the “recreation” of making oneself sufficiently presentable to attend the office), and 8 hours of sleep/missing sleep worrying about whether you can afford to commute (fuel, parking, bus fares) in the few days before pay day

      i agree with this entire thing, but just for the pretense of seeming balanced, the commute home from work is often quite recreational imo. working from home and simply closing a browser is less satisfying than speeding away from the evil building. [but it is better in every other way]

        Nah, driving home in the afternoon/evening rush was even more infuriating than the drive to work because it just seemed even slower and more time-consuming, eating into the vanishingly little time you have left for yourself
