    I'm contracted to 30 but I think I've only once done 30, usually over. Shifts vary from 2 hours to 24 plus including sleeps over 2 days. Find its all or nothing but have grown to not mind it

    36 hours Monday to Friday. I normally do 9-5ish with an hour for lunch but can flex so I work late sometimes when things are busy and use the time for early finishes when it's quieter.

    Self employed, so I can work whatever seven days a week I want.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I like to imagine hbk plotting our answer to the questions on a scatter graph.

    I work 300 hours a week. Just to put the scale out.
