Woman questions how people who work 9-to-5 are ever able to get anything done

A TikToker who recently started a 9-to-5 has questioned how any people who do the same get anything done.

Whether you work a 9-to-5 job or work over a seven-day rota, we all have busy lives.

For sure, those who work different days and shift patterns every week can have a pretty chaotic lifestyle and inconsistent schedule.

As for the 9-to-5's amongst us, you are having wonderful dreams waiting for that 7am alarm to sound to mark the start of the morning commute to the office.

Some point out that those on shift work have a different week every week, while those on the 9-to-5 have a very set schedule.

There's advantages and disadvantages to both - it's all about your personal preference, right?

One TikTok user, who goes by the name of Julia, recently switched from working in the service industry where she would have random days off in the week here and there.

However, she recently moved into a job that is a 9-to-5, and she is finding it rather difficult to complete all of her daily tasks now she has a very fixed schedule.

In a TikTok that has over 360,000 views, Julia questioned how those who work a 9-to-5 get anything done.

She explained: "I don’t get how people with 9-to-5’s get literally anything done.

"Going from the service industry where I would have Monday off, Wednesday off, random days.

"I could go to the bank and get my car checked."

But, due to her new job, Julia is struggling to find time in the day to get these tasks done.

Julia explained her predicament in a TikTok.

She continued: "My check engine light is on right now, and I also need to go to the bank to get a check for rent.

"But I can’t do either of those things because the places are only open 9-to-5 and I have to be at my office [from] 9-to-5."

"I just don’t get it," Julia concluded. "How do you get things done?"

And many have flocked to the comment section of the post to answer her query.

One person wrote: "Nothing gets done. Nothing. Weekends are spent recovering and nothing gets done."

A second commented: "You have to sacrifice sleep, and a lot of it. Especially work 2nd and 3rd."

While others reported similar problems, with a lot of people saying that they often use their lunch break to run any quick errands.

A third commenter said: "A lot of 9-5 places are ok with people leave early/getting there late for an appt or doing it during lunch."

Meanwhile, a fourth remarked: "I have to do my errands on the weekends and it’s so stressful!

"The roads and stores are so busy I miss getting groceries on weekday mornings."
