Making time to play?

Yeah, no. If you can't play EQ for a few hours here and there during the week because your significant other doesn't like it (AKA doesn't allow it), your significant other sucks and is a bad person to be in a relationship with.

If you're in an abusive relationship where the partner is controlling every second of your time, isolating you from your friends, belittling you constantly so you don't think you can do anything, etc, then obviously you have bigger problems than getting more playtime on P99. (If you're in this situation, get help and get out!)

But that kind of goes without saying and it is definitely not the situation most people talk about around here. I just don't think telling someone to dump their partner just to play EQ is good advice. In fact, I would even go so far as to say this is terrible advice. EQ is fun, but it's not worth social isolation IRL.

Of course, the real advice is that work, relationships, and maintaining one's health takes precedence over P99 and if you have no time to play and no way to fix that, then don't play. That's reality. You can only derive extra free time in a tight schedule if you cut into sleeping time (as mentioned by other posters here). Given that lack of sleep is actually extremely dangerous and too many people are sleep-deprived while on the road already, I reeeeally don't think it's a good idea.

Just my 2cp. :P

Edit: I think loramin is right. Talk to your girlfriend, OP, and start looking for a better job! Doing nothing but working for low pay sucks, especially if you don't even like your job.
