Where I work we attach pens to large fake flowers so people stop walking off with them. So this one guy was writing with one and this huge flower was moving around and he said, "Man, I just can't get used this thing flopping around in my face." I had to bite my fist from telling the customer TWSS.I can't really express how tired I am right now! I don't know how anyone can work a full time job! At all of my engineering jobs I would spend probably at least a third of the day either surfing the web, BSing with someone, or just staring off into space. Of course I felt bad for doing this, but I could just never make myself code for 8 hours. Or rarely ever. Maybe if there was a very huge and very near deadline.
But in my new job, I actually have work that needs to get done in 'real time', i.e. someone is standing in front of me or on the phone with me, asking questions, etc. It is not 'hard' work but it's just non-stop. The last time I worked that much was back at McDonalds - over 10 years ago! I am fascinated by what a different kind of tired this is. Also, I have no idea how anyone can keep a clean house, cook dinner, and have any kind of a social life while working full time.

ahhhh...back to the real world
May I humbly suggest that you play lotery? You could win and then would not have to worry about earning money and stress 8 hours in a row.
Another solution would be to marry a rich oil sheik. But then there is a risk that you disappear in a harem.
LOL!! I have a friend from Syria and I used to always joke about marrying his dad because he had 7 houses. But I would have been the 2nd wife which wouldn't have been so cool. So, all in all, I'm quite happy with the way things are!
