I honestly dont think i could because i have become so used to doing stuff as it needs doing.
Although i guess if i had to through no choice of my own i could acclimatize back into a 9-5 job but i dont think i would get as much enjoyment out of it.
How about the rest of you?

NO WAY!

I think I'd end up working nights somewhere. All these freaks out there that I used to sell porn too... I'd rather work nights alone doing someone's books or something
I could see lee now ;)
hahaha :)
I don't know... i think i could do it just so i can get out of the house. That's what i don't like... working from home.
Well I think I can... working from home is taking it's toll on me, and on the house.
After 8+ years I think I long for some type of schedule. And for those of you who know me well, that is saying a LOT! So when we get the offices open, I am going to strive for that.
Would I work 9 to 5 for someone else? To quote Luke, "NO WAY!" LOL

Well here's an interesting perspective for you, i work a regular job i'm not saying it's nine to five but this was my day today.
Started at 1am, worked until 2pm.
Drove home, slept for three hours, got up again and spent an hour and a half at the gym,
Went home cooked dinner, ate quickly and then went back to work for an hour to place some orders by which point it was around 9:30pm.
Came home and decided i should come and be sociable and that brings us to now.
So those of you seeking regular jobs that aren't nine to five ;) you know who to ask.
Cheers,
Allan
I hated any sort of 9-5 routine when I COULD work away from home, doubt I'd embrace that sort of schedule again... with or without being in the Porn Industry at this point. Maybe a half day sort of routine, that got me out and about for a bit, but not an 8+ job ... ugh!
i've never worked a 9-5 (or 8-4 or anything similar) job. i managed nightclubs, worked in a dungeon, owned phone sex numbers for a while... if a really excellent 9-5 opportunity presented itself, i'd go for it, but it would be WEIRD!!!
most of my time in the industry has been spent in an office on some sort of regular schedule, however... when i worked in an office, i would usually end up on the computer at night doing work, and before i headed to the office. being in sales in this industry, you have to be willing to work whenever your clientelle are around. that means late night/early morning for europe, evenings for the part time webmasters, weekends, etc. I think the biggest problems i face with working from home is that a. i don't leave the house much and b. i don't know when to quit.
You and I both! I find myself working on things until 4am and staying home all the time. That is the only thing I miss about working from home. It was kind of nice to get up, and goto an office.

Great Question!!!!
I think we all would find that working 9-5 would be less hours :)
But the truth is we could never get all the things done if we limited ourselves to these hours. Still, I will never get used to the feeling of dread, when the phone rings two hours after I went to bed.
I always think it's family or friends in trouble when it's just a client or support issue at 1:30 a.m. (happened last night)
That is soooo true, ya know now that I think of it a 9-5 job would be nice and relaxing. But I still don't think I can ever work for "the man" again.Quote:

Actually, I was thinking about getting my Real Estate license here in FLA. Thinking of it as something to do outside of the house every once and a while. But the laws are different here in this state because I MUST work for an exisiting company, for at least 12 months, before I can get a broker/office license.
That, right there, stopped me from doing it. I KNOW I can not work for someone else again.

if he turns me on then that bitch can work for meQuote:

Great question... the only thing I don't think I'd be able to handle about getting back out into the 9-5 rat race is actually getting up, making myself presentable and getting dressed before noon. lol Seriously, how many of us just roll out of bed in our PJs and get to work until our significant others shake their heads and say, "Gonna get dressed today, hon?" lol
I worked 9-5 for years and loved it... I loved working with people, but I hated office politics. At least here I can choose not to read GFY-ish boards or can switch off email or ICQ when people get too full of shit. lol
A couple years ago I worked myself to burnout... my hair was literally turning gray in STREAKS (not attractive, trust me) - and I was snapping at everyone I loved and working 20 hour days until I fell asleep on my keyboard.
When I switched companies I made myself a schedule. I get up around 8, grab a cup of coffee and get on the computer. I check email, post on boards, and get the day going. I work non-stop until about 2-3pm, take a short break to get the house tidied, make phone calls and get home stuff done - then I hop back on the PC and work until about 5-6 or until everything is finished. RARELY have I ever had a 12 hour day since this has happened. I MAKE myself stick to a schedule.
Maybe I'm just getting old - I turned *gasp* 35 this year - but there's more to life than 18-20 hour days and working weekends. Friday is SO much sweeter when there's a weekend of reading, gardening, movies, family trips and relaxation to look forward to!
