I have worked for 2 hours per day Monday to Friday shelving books at the university library. That was a good job. Loads of people in the library had mental health issues and they were great about time off.
Then tutoring (about 8 hours per week) - though it is much harder to get time off there as someone has to cover for you.
Also odds and ends like compiling a subject index for a prof's book or something like that.
I couldn't work a 9-5 or 8-6 or whatever job. I don't make much, but I get students allowance which covers basics such as rent and tobacco and coke and coffee- and I get to keep any extra that I make.
Some days (probably half the week) I just muck around on the internet and check my emails and can't bring myself to do anything at all. But then there are times that I really get into it and I am able to be really productive. So I guess I am suited to the kind of work I do which allows me to arrive in time for morning tea, and allows me to bugger around as much as I like - so long as deadlines are met.
But then I am not well off...
But then I don't work particularly hard either.
