Same - but kid instead of pet. Also, I like drinking beer lol
Justice Kavanaugh, is that you?
I work at an Am100 firm in a smaller market. Hours are comparable to any other big firm (and, stupidly, there is a facetime requirement even in the time of Rona), but at least they are predictable. I wake up at 530 am and bill from 700 to 500 to have free afternoons for hobbies and to enjoy an hour long dinner with my SO. Hobbies are mostly Crossfit (I bought equipment to be able to do it in my garage) and singing/playing guitar. Personally, I was feeling crushed after 5 years of putting everything else on hold for this profession. So I'm doing my best to make it work, but I have to say it takes all of my energy to keep afloat.
Team sports on Saturdays. Enjoy playing Rugby
That's because Saturday's a Rugby day!
Workout, watch YouTube, dream about living in the mountains and then back to YouTube
Coach
Exercise, stock market, reading books.

That’s mostly what I do too, because I’m too tired to engage in my other hobbies. Even reading (my favoritest hobby) is painful after spending the whole day reading case law.
I do play video games a little bit. And when I can work up the energy, I try to engage in more creative hobbies. Writing, painting, that kind of thing.
I race motorcycles.
My life is pretty much the same, though I would switch out kids for pet. Used to get out on my motorcycle until I crashed it coming home late one night. Now my primary hobby is eating ALL the food in the fridge.

Video games, learning Spanish, watching movies/tv, hanging out with my partner. No kids or pets here (except a fish tank).
A lot of cycling. Used to golf. Was into weight training for awhile. But find I only have time for one hobby.
Maybe that too. Both in the office and on the bike. Different kinds of suffering. Prefer the latter. 😉
Same, but add a kid. However, I am starting to get super stir crazy! In all fairness, I tend to get this away every winter when life outdoors stops for us. Lol.
video games and, in non covid times / once i’m vaccinated, playing hockey
Baking, working out, reading, and learning French! I try to watch as little tv as possible!
Pickle ball ... you’ll thank me later
