Not my EXACT situation but even so, oh dayam, life is good!

Most I ever worked was about 60 hrs/wk, for several months, for no more money. It's SO much better when you earn more for working more.

I have a wildly variable work week, being the sole IT guy for a company that writes wireless applications for cell phones. Some weeks I can do 80+, other weeks I might only put in 10 or 20 and use self-tracked comp time for the rest.

I have my own office, pretty much make my own schedule and am salaried. As long as everything runs smoothly (which is no easy feat) I usually don't gather much attention.

Would that be writing code in J2ME?

J2ME, S40, S60, Symbian, you name it.

I typically work 65 hours a week on average (5 days, sometimes 6, 12-13 hours a day).

What is this 9-5 shit I heard about as a child?

Vanderkitten · 06-25-2007, 02:14 AM

LOL!! I work about 80 hours a week between my full time job and running my own business. On top of that add a 9 week old baby to the mix! I understand though, if I was working for the man, over 40 would suck-ass, and I can do a lot of my own stuff at work.

A late congrat's on the little one! As long as everyones happy with the hours go for it. The main thing is enjoying what you do....like you inferred, the 'man' likes to dictate when/where/how much....as long as you're in charge of those three, enjoy.

working as a railroader I work:
10-12 hrs a day, 5 days a week

others in my line of work, travel for 10hrs, spend 6-14hr in a hotel then travel 10hrs back home, get 24hrs off, and do it again...

we get no set days off, were on a 2 hr call window, and we work 365 days a year 24/7, money is good job sucks.

lostmind · 06-25-2007, 06:05 PM

I run my own company. I go to the office 6 days a week and put in close to 14 hours a day... on sundays I am usually at home checking emails and doing some work as well, but in between errands and trying to get to see friends...

Of course, I do have downtimes and I tend to surf forums like this...

Typer73 · 06-26-2007, 01:17 AM

Currently part-time at 33+ hours per week. But... just informed today that our department is being phased out, so will be out of a job by October at the latest. Anybody need a typesetter/graphic artist/prepress?

twixt · 06-26-2007, 02:06 AM

average 21 hours salaried right around 450$, so like $21 an hour.

DorytheYaris · 06-26-2007, 10:18 AM

I work 35 hours a week +1 hour for lunch. The typical 9-5. However, as Peter says in Office Space, "I'd say in a given day I only do about 15 minutes of actual work".

If you're into moving cross-country, central WA could use you. I do the same thing, and I know you could easily find work in my area.

redduck · 06-26-2007, 11:11 AM

I'm constantly at work. I am a Spanish translator for verizon so any time they need a call translated I get a call on the company issued phone. it can be day or night for 5 days but they pay well for the trouble.

Black Yaris · 06-26-2007, 11:19 AM

40-50 hours (swing shifts) depends on the week + going to school online that takes up a good amount of time, I don't know if anyone else attends school online, but classes are fast paced... you do two classes at a time but they get crammed into 9 weeks

elsteverino889 · 06-26-2007, 11:51 AM

40 hrs a week around cars all day.
