Not sure if you've noticed, but they make these things called toilets. Hell, even a sink is an adequate piss receptacle.

that requires having to put some sort of pants on and walking thru a dark apartment. I like to sleep naked.

Wake up with energy, come home tired and don't get to do all the fun stuff I wanted to do when I initially woke up. How about you guys?

Watch other people work.

That was me for most of my career as a crane operator. I didn't actually "work," I sat on my ass and watched other people work...

Sounds like we've got some slackers here.

For me:

0615 - Wake
0630 - Leave for work
0700 - Arrive at work, check email
0700-1300 - Answer questions from workers, work on technical documents, discuss issues and get input from senior staff, meeting, hours tracking, phone call, automate something with a little Python. Repeat all of that maybe three times
1300-1330 - Lunch at desk
1330-1700 - Same as 0700-1300
1700-1800 - Work on metrics, meet with manager, discuss project and workers
1800-1830 - Either drive home or maybe work on some other stuff while it's quiet

I'm usually home by 1930. I eat dinner, watch an episode of something on Netflix, and head to bed.

In all honesty I love my job. The days fly by and I'm never bored.
