I work a messed up schedule as a manager at a pizza place. Nights some days, day time others. Not the best pay, but I've been there for 2 years and I'm afraid to change jobs. I have like the best manager!!! I work around 40 hours a week. We aren't really allowed to get over time...so I'm stuck at 40. I'm not complaining...It's a fun job.

Air Traffic Controller. 40 hours work week is standard. Overtime is always optional and available. Best job in the country!

My time varries greatly on the goings on.

If we're in the middle of a massive project I could very well work 20+hours a day.

However, since I am part time for the most part [ more time for my fishies ] I generally work about... 32 hours a week.

I tend to work through breaks and lunches to.

That is very cool.. is it anything like the movie "Pushing Tin" or was that movie a little over the top?

I always have thought ATC would be a really captivating job, I bet the hours go like minutes, you're so focused on stuff.

Anyway I am Systems Manager for a fastener company and I work usually around 40 but occasionally up to 60 or so when big things break. Usually just 40.

Wow, thinking about this sucks. I better not think about how much my salary comes out to hourly then .

I work 40+ depending on what is going on in a given day.... Being tech support for a large grocery chain, is a taxing but rewarding job!

 

[Capt.Gorilla]

47 hours a week pressing shirts at a dry cleaners, but because of the commute i'm off at six at home at six, and as a kick in the pants I only get to sit down for lunch and Its taken from my pay.

For a first job it's hard to adjust to.

I work for a medium sized local CPA firm in STL.

I do 40 hours dead on right now. Come in at 7, hour lunch at 11, leave at 4. My position as of yet does not require me to perform any offhour duties, but would in the future if I stay with the company. Then I'll easily push 50-60 hours.

 

[captivereefs]

Lets see. Get up a 4:30 am drive 1 hour to be at work by 6:00; work 8 hours. Come home run my aquatic business till at least 11:00 pm. weekends I do aquarium maintanence both days for at least 6 hours a day. Between all that I am the father of a six month old son. Bottom line I am ready to crash and burn! Help!

 

[cindywindy]

I'm a Public Relations Manager for Barnes and Noble bookstores so since the day after Thanksgiving until the second week in January, about 50-55, and then another 20 hours a week posting all over the forum circuit and working on Tropical Resources.

Yes, I seriously need a life, LOL. It's no wonder I'm single.

Hi everyone

I work 40-45 hours a week in my full time job. I work part time doing saltwater work 20-30 hours a week. the rest of my hours is sleeping and taking care of my large aquariums in two different houses. People ask me how do I do it. Well it's hard but you know what I enjoy it very much. And if you enjoy what you do then I believe you are a millionaire!

 

[loganj]

Darins schedule sounds really familiar. I work a weekend shift...3 days, 12 hrs per day on my "real" job. During the week, I have the coral tanks, the aquarium maintenance service, and three daughters to keep up with. I average about 16-18 hours a day every day. My website has kinda been on the back burner for a while, but I'm hoping to squeeze some time for it this winter.

 

[drinkingbird]

This is an average week for me...
40 hrs working in a padded cell (cubicle)
3 hrs Class
~15hrs spent working on my thesis - ( only 2 weeks left for final revision- Yipee! )
~3 hrs tutoring and volunteer work

I sleep every one in a while & the rest is spent driving to all the places I need to be.
