I dislike going to work. The obvious problems of making me tired and making me less money than I spend going there, are all just a minor annoyance. It’s the preposterous requirement of keeping myself aware of human time that irks me the most.
It’s the necessity to constantly remember that I have to wake up at a prearranged time, and leave home at a prearranged time that gets to me. I don’t like that time. I don’t live like that. I don’t sleep like that. I don’t leave my home like that. And I’m not really excited enough about the matter to happily anticipate the moment instead of dreading it.
And that’s a problem.

On the other hand, being able to go to the work whenever you please diminishes your ability to get a grip on yourself and act on own’s will against own’s physical desires. To be specific, that renders you practically unable to wake up early even if needed to once in a while. At least, that’s how it worked for me. Unfortunately, I’m no more able to withstand the temptation to sleep until noon when such a pleasurable possibility exists. So the conscious part of my brain would have preferred having somebody enforce a strict clock in/clock out time to me.
Actually, I have no problem waking up wherever I need to (emphasis on really need to). It’s not about waking up really. It’s about whatever you do during the day when you wake up around 13:00 and then have to go teach a class which starts on 20:40. :)
Then it’s the same for your students. I don’t think that eight o’clock PM could be considered a “human time” for studying ;)
Dunno, I rather like it. :)
