I was wondering what you guys do after work. You play some games, take work home, study, or just relax.

After work, I usually go home and watch some DSTV or Series (ran out of some content though). But I'm thinking of cancelling my DSTV and start reading IT related ebooks. I just started reading another book (TCP/IP Foundations) and I think it is going to keep me entertained for the next week or so. I'll like to do this for the whole year and see what I can gain from it.

What kinds of books do you all read?

As little as possible. Apart from what must be done of course.
 
relax...go to pub opposite the road, or play dota, download or watch series, make food, clean the place. pretty much it.
 
Dros after work for one quick beer, then i fetch my 16 month old from creche, and then all hell breaks loose as he is VERY busy !
 
Play games (HON mostly and then a bit Dirt 3 now), sleep, drink (Not that hectic umm yea) and get more work :D
 
So everybody either plays games, watches tv (or some form of video) or drinks :wtf: And those that included 'sex' are lying - we all know the truth. Making/eating food and cleaning your home shouldn't be counted.

You gotta ask yourself though - what were folks doing after work 20+ years ago. Options - they didn't have many.
 
I play with my 1.5 year old daughter, help the wife to feed and bath her (we have turns), help with cleaning up. After baby is sleeping, have a late supper (9-10pm) in front of downloaded series/movies. After that, do some DIY handyman type of work around the house (if I have the energy). 2-3 times a week I go out to play soccer, and come back after wife and baby are asleep.

Occasionally there is work (from my workplace) that I bring home, but not very often. I'm a late sleeper - most days I push it till 00:00 or 01:00 if I can handle it. I hate sleeping - I always fight it, but it is a necessary inconvenience. Being awake and doing stuff is so much more, alive, REAL, productive.
 
After work - usually grocery shopping with the wife (she works too), talk about the day, make dinner, eat dinner, watch a bit of TV (usually one or 2 sitcom reruns on Comedy Central), bath / shower, get in bed and read a bit. Often times we mix it up by visiting friends or having friends over for dinner.
 
Swim/run, cook, do some work, watch whatever live sport is on the box, sometimes go out for a bevvie, then sleep...
 
4:30pm - Drive home
5:30pm - arrive home
Play with 14month old son
Walk dogs
Feed Son
Bath Son
More playtime while Mom prepares his dop bottle.
Gym for 40min
7:30pm - Make supper and watch series recorded
9:15pm - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

5:50am - Wake up rinse and repeat.
 
I was wondering what you guys do after work.

Work? What's that? I slow down at 12ish, start the motor at 1-ish, visit my cousin's factory till 2-ish, fetch my daughter and then go to the pub for a Guinness before the 4pm rush, by which time I am at home watching telly.
 
Work and research - always trying to stay ahead of the game
