In before 7am this morning and I was wondering what sort of hours do people work? My "normal hours are 7 til 4 (beating the traffic), but more often I am in until 5.

From 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., uually skipping lunch in favor of extra smoke breaks.

I don't get compenstate for over-time, so I try very hard not to work any. :D

0700 to 1530, 1/2hr lunch, no breaks usually.

Mon-Thu 8-5, fri 8-4. 1/2 lunch + flexi time

As long as it takes. Usually about 9am to 5 pm, and then from 7pm to about 10 pm (but then, I get to "goof off" if there's nothing pressing).

Life in very small companies is "different". I had one job where the president told me that he did very well working only half-time ". . . and the best part is, it doesn't even matter which 12 hours a day I pick!".

Don't have a "regular" shift. Generally work around 7 pm to 3 am Thurs and Fri. Sat and Sun are whenever I get in and often work a single 16 hour shift to cover both days (like today). Mon is midnight to 8 am. Have to work around others in lab and political issues have made it best for me not to be around when certain others are. Isn't corporate life wonderful?

I don't work, I just try to get paid for having fun.
Usually from 6.30 - 6.30 Monday to Friday.

Please keep having fun,

Bruce Hamilton

Lets put it this way: I get paid for 37 hours a week.

Unofficial: On call 24/7.. :(
Kind regards

I'm having fun (as Bruce said) :lol: from 8am regulary till 5pm, Monday - Friday
But lately (the last few years) I have more fun, so I entertain myself as long as it takes.

Cheers
