What are your typical days like? What do you do when you run into a problem? How would you solve it? Tell us a story of what the worse day was like. 😀

Oy…..I usualy set the alarm for 0700, don’t actualy manage to get up untill 0730, blurily get dressed and try to make it to my morning job by 0800. From 0800-1200 I work for an Allstate Agent doing paperwork and general office help *I’m so ready to quit* I usualy get the majority of the work done for the week on Monday, then pretend to look busy while chatting with you guys
On Mon, Tues, Thurs I go watch the neighbors dog, Abby, to let her out and go potty, short walk. *If I’m behind Louis will take care of her.
On Tues and Thurs I have my precalc class from 1300 to 1545. I usualy only stay about 45 min to an hour….depending on how long the TA takes to do roll. My “prof” is a _______ ID10T. Case in point, the last test we had was a 20 question true/false test….The prof had wrong answers for !!3!! of the questions. That and he lost 12 people’s tests, and said that if he didn’t find them he would just give them full credit while the rest of us would retain our grades……Yah….Anyway moving on…
I go home at this point and usualy try to get things around the house done….lunch, laundry, ebay, e-mail…..or I just pass out.
Then, if I am scheduled, I go to my evening job at Aaron Brothers at 1730 and get out of there between 2130 and 2200.
Go home make/go out for dinner, spend time with Louis, watch a movie, play on the computer….Go to bed between 1200 and 0300, rinse, lather, repeat….
Weekends, when we’re not doing faire, it’s laundry and sleep.
Problems….I’ll usualy do one of two things, I’ll either just deal with it, going into “Marine” mode, or I’ll get really emo and freak out about it for a little while to vent…then I’ll go into “Marine” mode and just take care of it.
Worst day….I’ll have to think on that and get back to you…there have been a couple….=P
Thank you for asking Dragoness! 😉
Ha….well
I set the alarm for 7 but after hitting snooze 5 times or so I am up at 8.
then off to work at 9.
teach exercise class to elderly
play bingo (or another game of some kind)
serve and eat lunch with elderly folks
take a break
play games or teach art class to elderly folks
leave work
go home and play on computer
eat my wifes wonderful dinner
do art *fursuit,custom pony, draw, paint…something.
and go to bed at 10:30 or soboring
I get up at 3 am, make my lunch, grab something to eat and be at work by 4 am.
4 am, begin work, fish processing evisceration, sound fun? Hey it’s work and it pays well, with bennies.
Usually off work by 2:30pm. Sometimes later, we’ve worked as late as 4:30pm, but it is rare.
Get off work, come home, eat something, last food break was around 10am, then play with the baby, check email and goof off on PC, take a bath, or nap, read, paint, whatever I have energy for.
Today, got up at 3am, went to work, went home at 5am, I have the stomach flu and am having issues at both ends, so decided trying to be at work and supressing these issues would be too difficult. Went back home and slept most of the day.
Need to make dinner soon, and the big thing is I am not hungry, well I am, and I am not.

It will be all different after this week, but a typical Wednesday at school would be:
Up around 8 am, go on internet to check messages, sales, ebay, and forum while I eat breakfast.
Take shower, etc.
Be at school around 11 for Old English class, which goes through 12:15 or 12:30 if we have a lot of talking.
Eat lunch or chat with friends (other TAs) until 1:00, then go teach my English composition class. Done at 2.
Either go home, or have office hours where I mostly just sit around (maybe check email or forum) waiting for students to come in and ask me questions.
4:00 class on teaching
Home at 5:00
Do stuff until hubby gets home (dishes, internet, read, homework, grading, or TV).
Eat hubby’s fabulous dinner around 7:00 on TV trays while watching America’s Next Top Model.
Then usually, Crossing Jordan and Medium.Other nights are different shows or no shows. Sometimes I grade papers instead or work on Old English translations.
This is my last week of regular classes. Next week is finals week and I only have to meet with my students on Thursday to hand back their final papers and they wanted to have a party so we are having snacks. I have to grade papers between this Friday and then. 😕
I graduate May 11th, at night. 😀 Then my days will be crapshoots for work. I signed up with a temp service, so we’ll see.
I wake up between 5 and 6 am, get out of bed around 6:45, go have coffee and toast and read the paper at my neighbors house. Feed and water all my critters and plants. Leave for work at 9:30. Open the store at ten and close at 6pm. Get home around 7pm, depending on what week it is, I make dinner or it is ready when I get there. Done around 8 or so then watch tv, take a bath and go to bed. Very boring 🙄

Thank you for asking Dragoness! 😉
Mine is kinda similar to yours.I set the alarm for 6:30 am, wake up at 7:00/7:15 to be to work at 8:00. Take the dogs out for their morning walk and then go to work. I get stuff done inbetween come on here for breaks and then go home.
I then bring home dinner and walk my dogs. I watch TV with the bf and then it is off to bed. Weekends we go run around and do errands if we have money.
Oh, and you are welcome for asking. 8)
Oh, this is addressed to everybody?
Well, my answer is easy. I get up around 0500 hours, run the dogs at 0600. Past that, every day varies according to babysitting and office work requirements. 😀 Bed time is usually around 2200 hours, unless there’s something really important here or on E-Bay.I actually don’t have a typical day…. Sometimes its and adventure to wake up and then there are days where the alarm clock rings and all I want to do is bury myself back under those nice warm covers… Then there are the days that run for 48+hrs…
Life is like standing under a flock of birds, you never know when the crap is gonna hit 8)

Unless they have diarhea….
Hmmm…I’m always busy doing something. I fit in my “fun” stuff whenever I can.(5 minutes here and 5 minutes there 🙄 )
I get up at 0545…get my son up at 0700, get him off to school at 0745, go to work doing accounting from 0800 to 1200, get home at aobut 1230, leave for second job doing CNA work at 1400, punch in at 1430, work my butt off running circles around the other aides until 2300, drive home…Watch maybe 30 minutes of TV, go to bed at 2400 (or try to). Get up the next morning and do it all again. But, on the 20th of May, I will finally be down to 1 job again. So that means a cut in my collecting, but I will still be around trying to stretch my almighty buck as far as I can. Poads and baby Griffs will still be in my price range, until I make bonuses on selling asphalt. *shrugs* 8)Weekday Schedule:
Up by 5am (hopefully earlier), get to my van pool by 6:15am, at work by 7:20am, Work in marketing dept at a University, get back to van pool by 4:25pm, get back home by 5:45pmish. Eat dinner, do misc stuff, then go to bed (if I’m really good by 8:00p) but, usually around 10:30p. I’m gone around 12 hours a day from home, but get paid for only 8. Oh the fun.
