The person who made that thread on AskDamageX was me. About the sleeping in thing, sleeping in doesn't mean that I don't work 12+ hrs a day. My job wasn't time-sensitive so there were times I slept during the day and stayed up all night.
I wasn't lazy working for myself, there were many days I worked more than twelve hours, but it's a huge difference working for myself versus working for another person. I was usually in front of my pc from the time that I woke up till the time I slept. I was still able to sleep in though because I just stayed home all day and had no other obligations/social life. I would eat all my meals in front of my pc and I always home working, so sleeping in definitely had no affect on my work.
I enjoyed working for myself and I WASN'T tired after pulling in long hours, but working for someone else is extremely tiring. Probably because I have less freedom and because I hate being surrounded by co-workers. I sit in a cubicle and there are people all around me, some that I don't get along with. It is the combination of working to make someone else rich, the lack of control and being around "people" that is making working 40 hrs a week excruciatingly long. Dealing with people makes me tired and rises my stress-level. Especially people that I strongly dislike. I can easily work 60 hrs a week from home for myself and still have energy to spare. I am not a lazy person. It would not have been possible for me to stay self-employed for 7 years if I was lazy.
I always got my sleep in but I made sure that I was on the pc from the moment I woke up till the time I went to bed. I was never a sociable person so instead of doing things that others would do such as go out etc, I would use that time to sleep. That doesn't mean I wasn't working 10+ hrs a day.
And the thing about going to the beach, yes I would do that but then work at night and sleep at 3 am.
