17.00 hrs now, I am at my office.

Let me tell a bit about my work, I work in media kind of thing and start my work at 10am and finish it almost 8 or 9 pm and then go directly back home. And as a news station, I work in Sunday as well and that's 6 days a week.

Actually I just start this work for two months after I graduate from university. I was like very hurry to get a job and I thought that's the way to have my own life without parents boarders. I jumped into this job because of two reason, the office is near to my home! and plus the company reputation is good.

As I said, I start at 10am and finish at 9pm...and two months after i start my job, i becomes to realize that I didn't spend my time with friends or family anymore. I still live with my mother but lastly I seen her few days ago as I back home late and she had been sleeping already. Worse with friendship, I rarely have time to spend with my friends.

Who said being in media is an easy work? NO WAY! This is really the life consuming. But the point though is I still like this work. I just curious now, how can one live the life with all this time conflicts? I sometimes feel like I am in the middle of nowhere.

Is this confusion caused by my work? Or just because it is the small line of growing up from university student into office lady?

I feel your scheduling dilemma. I work full time and go to university full time. In my off time I try to fit in my band, friends, and fitness in there too. Sometimes I feel that I neglect some aspects in favor of others. I try to do everything in a balanced manner but sometimes it's not that easy.

I'm sure your mom is proud not only that you are working, but that you like what you do and that you are good at it.

What you describes seems to be what most people experience when they first start out in their career. It's that period of your life when you realize that life is not about hanging out with your friends anymore. You go from hanging out with your friends and relying on your friends and family for emotional support to starting to become an adult and taking care of yourself.

The friends you have today probably won't be the same friends you have in 10 years. Your friends today will go off with their lives and you will go on with your life and you will keep making new friends who have lives more like your new life.

you should consider yourself lucky to get a good job while many are keep looking for it and it isn't easy for new graduated to get a job that's easy......

I'm a money slave.So I look for jobs to do or trips to go more than hang out with people around my job.
