The Workday Vibe During All Hours of The Day

It seems that full-time jobs nowadays really take up more time than we think. Then again, that's why they call them "FULL-TIME." Full-time jobs can be simple or rather tedious, but one thing's for certain. There's a similar vibe or mood that goes around the workplace as time passes throughout the day. It really doesn't matter what type of job it is. As long it's an eight-nine hour job with some kind of break, you can easily change these time to what fits your schedule. Here's a detailed description of what vibe feels like during the day.

8:30-9:00 A.M.

The start of the workday. You're just getting settled into your office/area looking through your socials one last time before you get started. Maybe, your work email has an assignment for you to do or you already know what to do. The coffee is taking its jolly ol' time to kick in so you have the energy to get to work. If the coffee doesn't, then someone like a customer, coworker, or supervisor will be more than happy to get your body up and running. To think, it's not even 9 A.M. yet.

9:00-10:30 A.M.

You've kind of reached that point where you're glad the time's going by, but it's not enough time to take a legitimate break from work. The clock slows down even more if business is slow, or it moves faster if a rush becomes to come in. The energy from whatever you had for breakfast starts to finally settle in and do its thing. Though, as time passes you wonder if what you're doing is the correct way and your mind can really wander off.

10:30-12:00 P.M.

Now, the momentum of work is steady. You have a general idea of how the rest of the day will go whether it's good or bad. Plans on what you're doing for lunch start to come across your mind more often as noon approaches. Did you pack lunch? Are you going out for lunch? No matter how much you ate today, lunch does sound pretty good after a long morning. Even so, it's not really time for lunch yet, and if your lunch break is scheduled during this time frame, I'm so very sorry.

12:00 - 2:30 P.M.

Lunch breaks vary among person to person. Some take it at noon sharp while others try to take it as late as possible. Whenever your lunch break is, make it count. This is the only time during the day you can let your mind and body relax for a certain period of time during the day. Earlier lunch breaks give you that extra boost of energy but leave more time for the afternoon crash to hit. Later lunches give you something to look forward to, but that extra time without energy can take its toll in the early afternoon. Timing the lunch break can mean the difference between a good day and a bad day.

2:30-4:00 P.M.

This is when the afternoon crash really begins to hit if it hasn't already. By now, you'll understand why preschoolers were given nap-time around this time of day. Time makes drastic changes, and hopefully, it picks up pace. Some moments in the day feel extremely slow where you can't take your eyes off the clock. Most rely on another energy boost to get through the last few hours. That may seem like a good idea, but keep in the mind your plans after work.

4:00-5:30 P.M.

This is it. The final stretch. For some, it's good. For others, it's a wake-up-call. The time to wrap up any assignments and lock-up duties is now. It seems that it's a bit too late to start anything new. Rather, it's better to finish everything up, review your work, and plan out tomorrow. Looking back, did you get everything off your to-do list? Is your email cleared of unread messages? Do you have everything you need to take back home? You better. The time is truly yours, and make this count. You know why?

The cycle begins again tomorrow, and the grind to success continues.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
