Default How many hours is your complete working day..?

Now I'm grateful for my job, very! But it's a long day in comparison to freinds etc..

Just wondered what everyone elses is like....

I leave the house at 7am and walk through the door at 8.15 each day. Does very slightly... But not by much.

What's your day..?

6 hours working at the moment. 3 teaching ESL and 3 teaching ICT. Commute can be between 15-30 mins depending on the traffic, and how many people are lying in the road

0600 - alarm goes off
0640 - leave the flat
0725 - arrive at work
1555 - leave work
1650 - arrive home

Ten hours or thereabouts. I'll drop an hour out of that when I get my license back!

9-6 ish mon-thurs working hours, I stay at my mrs place which is only a few miles from work, so 15 mins commute or so each way, but lately im sat bout with hardly anything to do, which is fucking mind numbing when there is no work on, I like to be kept busy.

Cant complain though as im very overpaid considering how little i actually do at the moment, and at the moment in the current economic climate thats something to be greatful of!

Usually 45 minutes each way travelling plus an 8 hour shift, either 6-2, 2-10 or 10-6. Good thing is there is next to no traffic on the roads when I am.

OK, Coach collects myself and the team from the hotel at 7.30am and arrive on site at 8.00. It then collects us at 7.30 to return to the hotel by about 8.00pm.

Then grab a quick bit to eat and finish of any work that is urgent to normally finish by around midnight.

We are working on a huge software implementation at the moment that will me in Amsterdam for probably the next four years. The only plus side is the amount of Marriott points that I am getting at moment!!!!!

I get up around 7am most days, leave home at 8:15 to get there for 8:30. Work until around 18:30 then head home. After tea around 8pm I watch TV for an hour or two then hit my office for a couple of hours doing Internet brands related work. If I have an article to do I will normally knock one of the TV hours on the head and put an extra hour in there. Its hard to quote time as I often answer e-mails and eBay / Webshop / Internet Brands questions while watching TV or out and about by using my phone. i never really switch off completely.

Phil, sounds like you have one of the best daily routines so far, enouh to keep you busy but not enough to feel like hard work, good position to be in!

Stu's work/life balance sounds fucking awful though!

If you include client entertainment then can be 20 hours a day or more!!! (Most of it is ALOT of fun... I will admit!)

I start 7am everyday and finish at 6ish...

but I got in at 1.30am this morning after organising a huge big football tournament last night for my clients...

I also spend alot of weekends with clients at sporting events, concerts or holidays...

In fact I dont think ANYONE works longer hours than me!
