I was getting into work by 7:15am, leaving at about 7:00pm (commute time was shorter then as well). Ate dinner. Then did paperwork most nights until 10:00pm or so. I usually came in on Saturdays to do IT work when it was quiet. I was one of 5 executives and the others had no idea I worked this hard. When money got tight, I got voted out because I was administration and not a “producer.” They hired 5 people to replace me. Geniuses. They were out of business 5 years later.

All that to say...you do what you have to do. Suck it up, buttercup. I own my own business now. Doing fine, thank you.

I do suggest you try to find something you LIKE to do. Nothing worse than spending your life doing a job you hate. Life is too short for that. But work IS work...it takes time and sacrifice, especially at first.

That happened, believe it or not, at the church we left. I was the office manager/bookkeeper (treasurer)/Music tech/taught Sunday School/web page person. I am probably missing a few jobs. Some of it was paid, some of it was not. It was NOT a super small church. People just did not step up for tasks.

They had to get five people to do all those jobs and some took a few years to find.
