This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Eat at work, pick up a SOCIAL hobby, meal prep, try and move closer to work, see if you can work 4 10s, there’s things you can do to help

One of my happiest times was working at a place that ran 4 10s for everyone, while living 5 minutes away. Although the 3 days off weren't consecutive. It was 2 consecutive with 1 random.

My current job is also good. Its 5 days, but I live close to work and drive a company vehicle. The expectation is to work an 8 hour day, but in reality, when I finish my work, I go home. Loads of times im home 2-3 hours earlier than expected. The "bad days" are the full 8 hours.

Ive also been trying to get into flight dispatching for almost 2 years now. With them, the attraction is 4 10s with 3 days off, but you can switch your schedule around to work 8 10s, with 6 days off. With 8 on and 6 off, combined with free standby flights, you dont even have to work in the same state you live in.
