Ok, you see theres this thing called a job right - you go to it 5 days a week, during 9am-5pm usually. During this time you are working, and not at home. This generally is a sh*tty situation, which puts you in the mood not to do things afterwards, or not leave enough time. ;)

I do have a job, but unlike in aus, here in NZ it doesn't get dark until about 10:30PM, AKA time to work on the car :lol:
