I've been working for close to 2 years full time, and now I feel that everyday is just the same routine over and over again. I can't even believe that today is already Thursday.. so quick!

Dang when I was at school I FELT the days pass by.. but now they kind of just ZOOM by..

Yet I am still single.. I cant imagine what married people with family feels like.. they probably dont even have time to be alone

10 years have passed already since I started working full time. My life is almost over.

I think the week and years are longer for married people because they have to come home to the same thing everyday

My life started blazing by as soon as I hit college. Now in the summer I'm trying to put the brakes on each day as much as I can but it's still going by at full speed.

graduated 4 years, married for 2 years in Oct and w/ 8month old baby girl. After mondays, the week goes by fast. I usually look forward to Wednesday as a midpoint and friday quickly approaches. Our life indeed is very routine. We do the same thing everyday monday to friday. On the weekends we can vary a bit, going to dinners and shopping and such. the weekends always seem too short.

YES! My god the weeks just fly by now that I'm a full-timer.. it helps that I like my job and that the people are nice and it's very laid back.. but my first half year has been like a blur from going by so quickly.

I'm in the same boat as you, z0mb13.

3 years out of school. Same thing every day. The weeks fly by. :(

Too close to the truth :( However, I do appreciate long vacations away from the house and work a lot more than when I was a student...the irony is that even though I have the means to take much more extravagant trips now, there's a serious lack of free time to make it all happen.

I think it's just because you're getting older. Time goes by faster and faster as you get older. When you were five, an hour was a really long time.

well since the "tech savvy" ATOT crowd are mostly in 20s and 30s, i would imagine in 10-20 years these threads would grow as well

"YAFamilyT: bought a red sportscar with my 401k, kids now think im having a mid life crisis"
"YAKidsT: bought my son a xbox 1080 but he won't do better in school"

But one thing will never change for some members...

"YAGT: There's this cute girl at my new convalescent home, but she says I'm just a friend"

Yes, yes it does :(

I used to want to go out on the weekends and drink/party, etc... now I'd rather just stay home and sleep because I'm working fvcking ridiculous hours.

I'll be up for about 48 hours straight this weekend for work, hooray.
