How many hours a week do you work?

[El Jefe]

Ok you can either brag or gripe about how many hours you work a week.
Additionally if you are going to school or any training you can include those hours into your total.

I started some schooling and am working full time and between work and school I am running 65 hours a week, not including travel time or anything like that. Someone has to be buring the candle at both ends.
Lastly I will be doing this for about 7 months, so it could get interesting.

0 right now unless you count the househusband part. 40 when I go back to work after my surgery.

what surgery? Oh- wait, that's right you proposed to Joie.
So she had your nutz removed already? That was fast.......



:D

[bkkcoh]

40 - 42 right now, but before I changed groups it was 50 - 60 hours a week. :banghead:

Are you talking actual work? or "office space work"?

I'm still waiting for the judge to let me get mine back.....

[crazycoffey]

oh - to answer the thread starter, 40-50 plus reserves - two days a month, like this weekend.....

[damaticous]

45-50 But since I'm on "salary" I'm only getting paid for 40. Besides that lately I'm having to cover for my co-workers (who work about 35 hrs a week).

So it's all going to change real soon. I have Symantec Enterprise Vault training in Chicago the end of this month. After that I will look into other opportunities that I might be able to take advantage of with my new training. :)

[acesn8s]

I'm still waiting for the judge to let me get mine back.....In my experience...Judges are as bad as cops.

:Poke:

:p



Besides he will only let you have one. She still gets half.

[Demonpenz]

too much. Whats the point you are going to die anyway

ROFL - she still gets half, too funny

oh hey,
Don't make me haul you in;
strip search you and taze your bros.....

[The Franchise]

I work the normal 40 at my job. If there is an election then it changes and can increase up to 60 hours a week. Plus throw in the fact that I'm going to school online. So that can add anywhere from 10-25 hours a week.

[acesn8s]

oh hey,
Don't make me haul you in;
strip search you and taze your bros..... And that is why I don't travel to St. Louis anymore.

[Iowanian]

I used to work 40.

Now....I work a lot more hours, with less than 40 per week billable. I work a contract job as work available and will be sub teaching on the side in my "down time" to fund the reason I work so many unpaid hours. I also volunteer on several local community projects and have an additional responsibility in that regard, am remodeling a house, chasing a 2 year old and making room for a spring arrival.

[BigVE]

Oh wait, that's about how much I'm on the clock. Actual "work" time probably only equals 20-25hrs a week. :) ;)

[luv]

It varies, but I always get paid the same.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I work adout 65 hours a week but 8-10 hours are spent giving you guys a hard time on the planet. In the spring/ summer my workload increases as I have a rock yard where I sell flagstone and boulders as a side business.

[Bugeater]

15-20, but you're asking at the slowest time of the year. Check back with me in April.

[Rooster]

A lot less since I found this place. :banghead:

Are you a farmer?

[Bugeater]

Are you a farmer?
Residential painting contractor. People just don't want to do anything this time of year, I always have a dropoff after the holidays.

Flooring business is the same way. The past two months most of my time at work is spent on The Planet or various baseball websites getting ready for my fantasy drafts. On the plus side, I have the store really clean and neat.

So to answer the thread question, I am at work about 45 hours a week but currently I probably only spend about 25 of those hours doing anything productive.

C'mon spring, I needs me some customers!

If thats your picture in your avatar I can see why you don't get much work.

[StcChief]

40+ weekly

[DaFace]

Depends on the week. Our workload is pretty variable here. But most of the time I'm somewhere between 40 and 45.

[Phobia]

I put in anywhere from 60-85, depending on how busy we are and what you can call "work". I spend a lot of time online buying materials and buying/selling inventory. I also spend a lot of time with the administrative needs of my business and bidding/selling jobs.

I get my hands dirty about 30 hours a week, the rest of the time is spent doing stuff my employees consider easy.

I think you win with the most hours, how long have you been putting in that many hours?


Usually you get these people that are working 2 jobs for 70hrs a week, where are you folks at?

57.5 hours if you count my commute and lunch. I leave the house at 8:30A and get home between 7:30 and 8:00P. Actual time working minus 1 hr. lunch 37.5 per week.

I just started getting really busy in the past 6 months or so.

I used to travel as a computer geek. I had a 118 billable hour week once upon a time. That was a lot of work. Fortunately my travel time was billable and I was paid by the hour.

They probably don't spend much time on Chiefs Planet.

When I was a much younger man I worked 60-70 hours a week in the restaurant business. I didn't make much money but I always had money cause I never had time to spend my pay. They had me on a real intersting pay structure. Anything past 45 hours I got paid half as much per hour as the first 45 hours.

Wow, that sucks.

[Scorp]

0 and that is putting in overtime.

[angelo]

I average 70 to 80 hours a week over the course of a year.
January to March 60 hours a week.
April, May, September, October, November 80 hours a week.
June, July, August, December, 90-100 hours in a week (7 days a week)
average day 7:00 am to 9:00 pm
Mostly on my feet except between 2-4 in the Afternoon

[underEJ]

66 right now, probably more leading up to May deadline.

50 is the standard, and the pay guarantee (I usually work all of them, but if I don't have to, I still get paid for the 50.)

Leading up to deadlines, usually about 4 months of 60-70, then a month or two of up to 80. I get paid for every hour of OT, and often double time.

Any more than that and I'm useless anyway, so I might as well not be there.

Three 12hour days, then Mon, Tues, Wed andThurs off.

I'd bet Rain Man puts in an average of at least 60 on a regular basis, and has probably pushed the 100 mark here and there.

How do you manage this while playing football all day Saturday and Sunday?

[Stewie]

I'm salaried so I get paid no matter how many hours I work. I used to work a shitload of hours but realized it wasn't doing anyone any good. I found that cutting out meetings and focusing on what needs to be done I can get as much done in 40-45.

[Archie F. Swin]

50 to 60....sigh

[dtebbe]

Do the hours I spend working on my toys in the "back" count?

It's good to be king....

Heh, my tools are as clean and as organized as they can get. I know exactly where every single thing is right now. I'm sure all it will take is one 50 hour week and I'll have crap scattered all over the place again.

[Rain Man]

But it's all worth it when I look under the counter and see a big new box of those fruity snack thingies.

How do you manage this while playing football all day Saturday and Sunday?

I leave working Saturday and go straight to football. Leave football and go back to work. Start about 7:00 AM weekdays and I'm not usually done until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. Most of my bids and writing is done even later than that.

[Iowanian]

Your company accepts fruit snacks in lue of payment?


Next time I need market research, I'm going to try to negotiate a 5 gallon bucket of 2nds and samples from the Creston IA Gummy Bear plant.

I prefer jerky, frankly.

[chefsos]

That would be me. Let's see, I'm off Monday and Thursday nights and Saturday and Sunday mornings, and that's about it.

Well, not quite, though he did bring in a professional massage therapist a while back. I don't wanna know what happened behind those doors...

[plbrdude]

beings i'm self employed working hours and billable hours don't always agree. i reckon 11 hr a day may be a pretty good average. after looking at phobia's post i'm starting to feel lazy.

[Iowanian]

I work at home, and don't track my hours very well(travel too)....but I make an effort to step away from the PC/Phone from 5-6/8 to spend a little time with the kidowanian.

Worked hours and Billable hours are too completely different monsters....Godzilla and a Komodo Dragon most times.

[LocoChiefsFan]

65- But our weekends are coming to a close so I'll be closer to 50 then.

Three companies...days aren't long enough. thank goodness that wife is semi workaholic also.

I've heard it as, "The best part of owning your own business is that you only have to work half-days....and you get to pick which 12 hours they are."

I'm not complaining, though. The only ways to get rich in this country are to start your own business, buy real estate, run a 4.3 40, or show the world your perfect breasts on film. I can't do #3 and #4, and #2 requires starting capital.

[MOhillbilly]

never less than 40 sometimes as much as 80-90+ hours in the spring & summer.
