Am I doing it right?

I've just finished my first week at a new job. I like the job, but it's the first time in several years that I've had relatively standard 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as my schedule. The last time I did was in 2019 or so, and then I went and got back into graduate school for the interim.

Now that I'm back to standard hours, the commitment of time and energy seems to be quite a lot, more than I remember from prior ft experience(It could well be that this job is actually mentally demanding, whereas my prior full-time job was pretty brainless) and I'm not sure how I will make room in my life for anything else.

I like the job I'm doing, and I don't feel as if I'm being unreasonably pressured at work (Boss even said to go out of our way not to work overtime, and it's a salaried position so I know they're not trying to skimp on hourly pay), so I guess I'm mainly wanting to ask how the rest of you full-timers do it.

And does it get easier to manage as you start to get used to it and make a routine?

Maybe it feels like quite a basic or rudimentary to ask... But these are things I've forgotten in the interim since last working 40-hour weeks.

Ironically this comment implies there's something morally wrong or depraved about that, or that wanting to look at boobs is an inherently sexual thing (to which only an immoral degenerate would succumb), which is exactly the kind of Puritan-derivative "sex bad" mindset that the post is rallying against.

My paternal grandma died last year. And my dad remarried in 2017.

Not really enough time for his new wife to establish much rapport.

Dad had always been a Mama's boy and lived most all of his life clinging to his mom's skirts anyway.

Yet when grandma died it was the new wife who casually sent me a picture taken with her phone of my grandma's corpse in the hospital bed.

Horrifying, and very inappropriate. All of this is to say that I can relate to your situation and no, you aren't overreacting.

I have wondered why it's called that. Is it just because it sounds cool? To the best of my knowledge, the words themselves don't really mean anything, even in the context of the time.

The pathetic manga section at my local library in my hometown of the rural United States had volumes of Dragon Ball going up only until the end of the Frieza saga.

Since in the late '90s and early 2000s I had no reasonable way to get the rest of them (since internet had not yet come to that little village), I considered that to be the end of the series.

Now that I know everything that comes after, I maintain that the end of the Namek story arc is a sensible and satisfying endpoint for the series, and everything after that seems like it's being drawn on for far too long and is unnecessary.

Same goes for Naruto up until the end of the Chuunin tournament arc.

It's AI. The trend du jour is uploading a picture to ChatGPT and asking it to recreate it in Studio Ghibli style.

But what did he say he was gonna use it for?

You may not want to hear this but if this describes you it simply means you're an uninteresting person.
