how many hours a week do you work?

and how many hours do you spend commuting?

Recently I have really been hating my long days & long commute & I want to make a change in 2008, just wondering how my day/week compares to others.

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

I work over 50 hours a week, I have 3 jobs and each of them are within 12 miles of my house, so my commute is not long at all. Sorry that you're not happy with your work situation!

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

my hours are 8:30-4:30 but I work in Manhattan so I leave my house at 6:45 am and get home around 6. Almost a 12 hour day round trip

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

I work 6 to 2 monday to friday

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

My technical hours are from 7:50-3:05. I rarely leave before 4 and I am usually there by 7:30. BUT then I come home and after my DD goes to sleep I do another hour or two of work. My commute is 35-45 minutes depending which way I am going.

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

Like Jaimie, my technical hours are 8-3. However, I'm there at 7:30, don't leave until 3:34-4:30 and then I usually do another 2 hours of work at home most nights.

The caveat to all this is that my commute, which used to be over an hour each way, is now 5 minutes.

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

Technincally, I work a 35 hr week. I often stay later to catch up on paperwork, and attend meetings in the evening. My commute is 15-20 minutes.

I sympathize with the long commute. When I worked in southern Queens, my travel time was 1 hour each way. I wasn't a happy camper.

Good luck!!!

Re: how many hours a week do you work?

My commute is typically 30-40 minutes each way depending on traffic.

I work Monday-Friday 7am-5pm. There are plenty of days where I am here earlier then 7 or stay later then 5.

Christmas time is the worst season for us because its our busiest. Last year I worked 29 days straight without a day off. And my peak week I worked 82 hours.

I hate it! But, it pays the bills.
