  • I'm at my internship from 9 to 5.30, four days a week.

    Working week to me is somewhere between 36 and 40 hours though.

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")
  • 46 for me (over 6 days a week)
  • My contract says 35 hours, but the unwritten convention is you should be working 10% more than this at least. At the moment I am doing about 38 a week but i'm starting to find the job very easy and boring and am not particularly busy as a result. A few months ago when I was busier and still learning I was doing 50-55 hours a week.

    I don't do paid work but my dh works 8.30-7.30 in the office then a few more hours when he gets home til bedtime. Has Fri night and Saturday off. Works at home all day Sunday.

    I wont work out the actual hours, as it'll depress me. People who think University Lecturers have an easy life, think again! :confused:
    That sounds about right, some mornings I go in about 7 as it is the only time I can do stuff in the office without being disturbed by students.

  • I work 40 hours a week, but it's shift work. Normal hours are either 7-3, 3-11 or 8-4. I usually take 1/2 hour for lunch.

    I'm contracted for 40 hours a week, but I often do up to 60 to get projects finished.

  • 35 hours over a 5 day week (mon-fri), though it can be more, particularly the first week of the month
  • I win!! :T hehe

    Back from last year easter till easter this year when i was self-employed it was roughly 90hours per week.
    (Sunday night to Friday evening only though, no weekends)

    Some weeks it endedup hitting the 100 hours mark,
    although quite a few days i would only have to work for like a few minutes per day,
    so it wasn't too bad. :o:A


    Then from easter till few weeks ago this year it was 48hours per week, 4days on - 4days off shift pattern.


    Then now unemployed so 0hours of work per week, which i do have to say i like quite alot as it is very relaxing. :rolleyes:
