How long are your workdays typically?

Post » Mon Jul 29, 2013 2:55 pm

I work 16 to 20 hours a day during weekdays, during weekends I only work 8 or 9 hours a day thankfully. I usually spend all day sleeping during the time I'm not working though.

16 to 20 hours a day? That's rough, hope you have no ill side-effects!

My job/study per day is about eight, nine hours, but my home is an hour away, so I won't be home until after nine, ten hours.

Man, if you have an option I'd try to find another job, thats insane.

I actually just got hired and I start tomorrow. I work 3 days in a row, about 8 hours a piece. Pretty typical. But the pay is above minimum wage, so I'm happy with it.

Some days I work as little as 5 hours. These days are rare. Other days I work only 8 hours. These days are also rare. Many days, like today I work about 10 hours. These are short days and make me happy. Most days, like yesterday, I work 14 or so hours, these days make me not happy. And tired. Thankfully I tend to have lots of days off - I usually only work fewer than 20 days out of the month, usually more like 15.

I work 8.5 hours a day, five days a week, and on most holidays, birthdays, and weekends (unless they fall on a day off or I have enough paid time to request a day off); and attend school for anywhere from 0-4 hours a day before work. I work until 2 AM, which means I'm forced to study after work, then to awaken late and then head straight to school, then straight to work, which means nobody gets it and calls me at the butt crack of dawn, haha. It's a schedule that allows me to get a decent amount of going to school and doing schoolwork done, though. I just hate waking up late. If it were up to me I'd be up by 7 or 8; not between 10 and 12:30.

But I'm guessing you're working two jobs or in emergency/medical services, OP?

When I was in Security I had days where I did triple shifts and still had to go do another shift at another place and people where wondering why I slept on the job sometimes. What the hell do they expect from me pulling those kind of hours with no sleep, unless you're properly trained in the Military to stay awake for long periods of time the human body will automatically shut down from exhaustion if it goes long periods of time without sleep.

I'm a full time university student, and days tend to vary quite a lot. I'm going to find a job later as well though, you know, so I'm actually able to buy [censored]. Maybe I'll even be able to buy my own car so I don't have to borrow other's. :angel:

I'm at university full time but I tend to work a part time job anywhere between 10 to 24 hours a week, whenever I'm free.

I'm a housekeeper in a health care facility. Since it's a facility that is running 24/7, housekeeping is done 7 days a week. (along with kitchen and nursing staff, office jobs are Monday-Friday). To be fair to all workers of 7 days jobs, we work 4 days on, 2 off, 4 on, 2 off. That way we all eventually get a weekend day, or full weekend off. Hours are determined by how many beds are filled, and can be from 6-8 hours a day, or somewhere in between.

8 hour days during 3/4 of the year. But christmas/hunting season it turns into 12 hour days 6 days a week (optional of course). Which makes my pay check so sixy to look at
