Question: how does your job effect your daily life ?

In many and different ways. I’m lucky in that my job is interesting, often challenging, but doesn’t ask me to do more than my regular hours, so there’s time for life outside of work. It doesn’t pay excessively, but it pays well enough to leave a little left over each month, once my basic needs are met, to provide a little enjoyment in life. The pension that gets set aside for my future is fair and means I don’t fear the future as much as I might. But beyond these basics, having done my job for so long my work inevitably starts affecting how I look at and interact with the world. The skills, practices and experiences of work affect me as much as the practices and experiences out of work do. Questioning, critical thinking, evalutation and weighting, working with others, compromising, and above all the knowledge that neither I nor anyone else know everything, can’t know everything, and are very likely wrong most of the time and that’s fine. I try to be usefully wrong and sometimes succeed in it. Getting 80-90% of a problem solved is better than not solving the problem at all. Others probably have the remaining 10-20% and from them I can learn, adjust and update.
