Popis: Objective This paper offers a reflection on temporal routines that underscore daily work life and work transitions. Participants This reflection includes views of a Canadian student who examines work transitions through lived experiences and observation of the Chilean work/home routine. Method A narrative reflection on lived experience is used to examine 9 to 5 work transitions. Results There is a blending of work and daily life routines that provide a balance for workers in Chile and there are differences across countries in the valuing of work and daily life routines. Conclusions Narrative reflections about work and work transitions can highlight differences at the macro level that can yield personal insights into challenges in transitioning into work for new immigrants.
