So, what do you do when you not @work - sleep?

FTFY. Just spent 2 full days sleeping. I'm freaking exhausted! Work, sleep, work sleep, work... Oh, my personal equipment needs maintenance! How wonderful!

My main TV in my home office that I use as a monitor just went out so now I'm mounting a new one. I also need to go through ALL of my data and clean it up. Freaking millions of files and dozens of gigabytes (and no, this doesn't include movies). It's been years so I'm way overdue. I expect it will take approximately 200 hours to manually go through all my files and update my backups. I guess I'll be sleeping less.

Oh but wait! Here comes a client with 50 computers that need replacing. I guess I gotta source, clean, upgrade, and image 50 computers now!

I really don't understand how people have the time to cook/clean/raise kids and everything else. I can barely throw a burrito in the microwave and take the dog out (and I pay a company to do my cleaning).

So hire more employees you say? Well that would be great but I already have too many as it is. I need a freaking month off just to recoup. This is how I am after 2 days off sleeping. Still stressed as all hell.

I'm always in hell. Stressed if I don't have enough business but stressed just as much when I have too much. I can never seem to get it right and this pandemic and being on call 24/7 isn't helping.

Who has time for TV? I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. but I maybe watch 1-2 hours a month if that. TV is for retired people.

I agree, life is too short. I probably average 5 hours/week. Even that seems like a waste of time

sleep is the best thing you can do for yourself. Make it a priority to be in bed and try and get 8 hours/ night. You are literally killing yourself slowly. How can you have too many employees but be that busy? The math does not work.

Each employee brings their own pile of bullsh*t. For each pile of workload they can handle, they add another load of stress. If I had one or two I would be fine but I really can't handle this crap anymore. I'm just going to have to do my best to balance it. Not enough work and an employee becomes an expense AND a headache. Too much and you'll blow them out. Same problem I have. They're people, not equipment/robots. The move to automation isn't just money related. Human workers are incredibly inefficient and a real pain in the a$$ to deal with.

I'm really thinking about going solo again. I love the money but this job is killing me, especially now with this pandemic.

Dash Cam Owners Australia - for the comments on Tradies & Utes obvs

Yes I'm playing catch up. Besides, it's easy now to stream / download something that you may have missed, rather than waste an hour of your life on some overhyped "reality tv" / soap / etc - but I guess that's just me judging by their "popularity"

HAHA that dashcams show - actually watched it the other night. Some idiots out there, fellow aussies crack me up with their responses sometimes.
 
I've actually been watching allot of YouTube lately. Not click bait stuff but content. Stuff like the History Guy, Linus, Rhett Shull (I play guitar), The Proper People (Urbex), etc. I just don't seem to have the patience to get through a movie lately and there's not much in TV series that holds my interest.

Manhunt UnaBomber was cool, I like true crime and Sci-Fi shows.
I never watch free to air tv. All it is reality crap, after work I usually kick back with Netflix, PS4 or Youtube
