Time flys...

I've been sitting here TRYING to think of something to blog about.....

So I checked a few blogs out.... but it was mostly about women who have some sort of hobby e.g. papercrafting, stamping, knitting, crocheting, or basket weaving.
I don't have a hobby. Why? Because I don't have time. I am always doing something or other that prevents me from utilising my time.
And so I pulled out my calculator to work out how much of my time I spend on things....... Here is the breakdown based on a week (168 hours):

Sleep: Ok I try to get 8.5 hours a night = 59 hours & 30 mins
Travel: Well I have 2 jobs- weekday and weekend and travelling times for them vary. It takes me an hour to get to the hospital and an hour to get back on weekdays. 10 hours.
Travelling to and from Smiths on weekends is 1 hour so thats 2 hours. = 12 hours in total.
Working: 7 hour shifts during the week. And 11 hours on the weekend. = 46 hours.
Eating: Calculating lunch breaks and dinner time = 7 hours & 30 mins.
Free time: This includes internet surfing, watching TV, playing computer games, and reading books - 4 hours a night weekday & 7 hours on weekends = 34 hours
This is obviously an approximation as I havent included cooking/cleaning/bathroom use/shopping etc etc.
And when you add it all up.... I spent 159 hours on the above tasks. ( I cannot account where the missing 9 hours go! Asleep maybe?).

To me thats a lot of time wasted. It's depressing me to think that I'm wasting so much time but have nothing to show for it. :(
