I work an 8-5 job, too.
Well, I work from home, though. I used to commute 45 min to and from work every day, so working from home is great.
...and I actually work a flexible schedule. I usually work from like 9 - 5:30 because i hate waking up. I usually work six days a week, though. (I have Sat & Sun off, but I usually work on Sat to get overtime $$$$)
I haven't had a full day off since Wednesday, and that involved me driving 5.5 hours. When I'm not working, I've been rehearsing for this show I'm in that opens on Friday. It's pretty nerve wracking bc NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THEIR LINES.
