And what’s your routine like?
I’m the kind of worker who prioritizes life over work. So that means I care about having light schedules if I know when it’s suitable and if my expenses can still be met which currently, I’m in the hole on that. If I can get away with using as much PPTO/PTO/Sick days as possible, I’ll do it. If I can afford to take points while balancing my expenses, I’ll do that too and have done that.
I typically work nights and I like working nights in nearly all of the jobs I’ve been in when available. I can’t stand morning and day shifts because it takes me a little longer to get warmed up during the morning and day. I actually used to have burned through mornings by sleeping through them.
But on my off days I do try to make up for some sleep at nights.
I value:
Interesting work, good pay, flexible hours.
Don’t care about:
Moving up a ladder, job title, other recognition or appreciation except in the sense of keeping my job.
I am scattered and more creative than organized in most ways but like the work of accounting and systems much more than “creative” careers. Generally speaking at any job I evolve into the universal backup and people come to me for help with their work, can often see solutions others can’t.
I am literally incapable of doing something I don’t understand, so sometimes slow at the start.
And if I didn’t have to work for money, could live a full and happy life without a job. It’s not something I need, but I don’t mind working either.
ETA: also, most productive and also physically strongest from about 14:00 to 19:00. Not an early bird or a night owl, an afternoon person.
