The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?

    If you just decide to leave halfway through your shift

    (literally the opposite of what OP asked about)

    dumbass fucking shit

    Speaking of that

    As an aside, if you were paid hourly and only worked a few hours a week, you wouldn’t make any fucking money.

    Yeah why the fuck do you think so many people are so goddamn poor? So you’re wrong, angry, AND entitled. Trifecta. Try being poor for once in your life, then you’ll find a better place to put your anger.

    dumbass fucking shit

      I’m not talking to the OP, I’m talking to you. Shut the fuck up and pay attention.

      Yeah why the fuck do you think so many people are so goddamn poor? So you’re wrong, angry, AND entitled. Trifecta. Try being poor for once in your life, then you’ll find a better place to put your anger.

      First time in my life I’ve ever been accused of being rich. I can only assume you’re very young, because you have no fucking idea how any of this shit works. People are poor for a multitude of reasons, but it sure as shit isn’t because they get to leave work whenever the hell they want. Where the fuck did you even get that idea?

      You think having a set shift means you’re on-call? Sit down, shut up, and learn something; on-call means you go home and eat one bite of your dinner then the phone rings and you have to go back to work. On-call means they own you even when you’re at home. On-call means your time is not your own, you can be called into work at any time regardless of anything you have going on, be it food, sleep, doesn’t matter. Going to work and staying there for 8 hours is just called having a fucking job. You should try it some time, it’ll open your eyes to all kinds of shitty fucking truths.
