Set down keys/wallet/phone, wash hands, get a beverage (usually coffee or soda), have a smoke, then log on the computer. And of course take off my pants and chill in my underwear for a while. :p

Dress clothes off, shower, basketball shorts and t-shirt on. Play with the kids, help with dinner, read the news. Spend time outside with the kids. Outside time is a must.

I work from home, but the first thing I do when I'm done work is usually take my daughter to the park.

Keys, wallet and phone stay in my pants by the door in case some a**hole in one of the other apartments sets the building on fire again.

Damn, a lotta you ladies de-pants when you get home. I wear business casual to work but I stay in those clothes the rest of the day probably 60-70% of the time.

Depends on the shift. An 8 hour day shift where I get home at 5:00pm I'll make supper, maybe stop at the store first to buy anything I may need. I may even run some erands like if I need something at Home Depot or something of sorts. Typically I don't feel like doing much after a day shift so I'll pretty much eat and then relax. Maybe watch TV, game, or go on the computer. Don't really have a routine.

12 hour shift, where I get home at 7pm, typically I'll just go on the computer for a few hours then try to go to bed at 10pm but I'm usually wide awake as I'm more nocturnal, but I try to sleep given I have to get up at like 6am the next morning.

12 hour night shift, get home at 7am, so I usually try to go to bed by 8pm and get up whenever. Nice thing with night shift is not needing an alarm so I sleep more naturally. Typically wake up around 2-4pm then just kill some time at home on the computer, TV or what not and leave the house for around 6:30 to be at work by 6:45.

Awesome thing about my job is there's not really a dress code so I usually just wear jeans and tshirt and stay in that at home. In summer we can even wear shorts at work. (nothing would stop us from doing it in winter except for frost bite. :p) Sometimes I actually do wear shorts at home in winter if I don't plan on going out though, much more comfortable than jeans.

dogs. Dogs mob me when I come in, so I wrestle them and out the front door to toss a few balls with the chuckit. Then I can get down to comfortable clothes if I am not doing some home work.

Take shoes off, go into the kitchen and find some grub, turn on news, have a smoke and then turn the computer on.
