    Nominally, Mon-Fri 9 to 5 but being salaried it means however many hours it takes to get the job done. Typically, that means 8:30-6ish with maybe a little email catch up in the evenings and weekends. Also some evenings lost to client dinners and weekends when you need to travel.

    On the plus side, if it's quiet at 3pm on a Friday and I've done all I need to for the week then there's no problem going home early.

    17 hours spread over 3 days. I am very happy and feel fortunate that I am able to have such a good work life balance.

    Why? Sorry I am just curious.

    Is it a labour of love or very well paid?

    What do you do?

    I don't think it's worth asking hbk a question. He only starts all his threads then goes away. He doesn't get involved with what others post.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    I know! That's why I asked!;)

    I didn't expect a reply but it only took a few seconds to post the question, so nothing lost :D

    I work 52.5 hours a week (Wednesday through Sunday, 7.30am-7pm; 6pm at weekends.)

    It's definitely a labour of love... If I worked a flat 40 hour week I'd be better off 'advertising my services' haha!
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    Officially 36 hours per week, in reality probably nearer 50.
    I'm not badly paid & I do have a lot of responsibility, its whatever it takes to get it done.
    My start & finish times depend on my diary & where I have to be.

    I have to work for the time when I am not sleeping. As I wake up my mind starts working. Thinking too much about everything. Not getting rest at all.
