    How many hours do you work a week ??

    Mine varies but it’s about 35 hrs a week
    plus I have another few hours of basic paper work that I do after work on usually Tuesday’s
    The hours are low but I am around up to 30-50 people a day and that is not fun

    I dont work anymore but due to the nature of some jobs I have done taking place during shut downs and outages I have work some extensive hours on time 28 hours straight , this was on a passivization procedure on a I inch ID with a 4 in od pipe about 1 mile going to launch pad 40 at Kennedy space center .
    I worked a lot of 80 hour weeks in power houses nuke plants etc when a job had to be done during a outage .
    That was back in the day when a 2700 dollar clear pay check for a week was big money

    I'm not lifting a damn finger any more. In fact, I don't care or usually know what day of the week it is...well, South Park is Wednesday nights.

    Always working. I'm working now. I always have to be at the phone but I think this home office situation is making me really inefficient. Usually I am visiting customers, vendors or I am traveling, but then can wrap up paperwork in a few hours in the hotel or airport club.
    I should only be working 3 hours a day right now.

    I typically work 10 hour days and then some time during the weekend to prep for the coming week. About 60 hours on average sometimes more when I'm traveling because I'm working at the temporary duty station and then going back to the hotel to address work from the Office.

    Depends on your definition of work. When I was working for the man, so to speak, I put in 10-12-14 hour days 5 to 7 days a week depending on the work load. I did 20 - 30 days without a day off more often than I can remember. Now that I'm retired I do 8-10 hour days working in my shop, yard work and property work. Saturday's are honey do lists days and I don't consider that work.

    None.


    (Although summer planting/landscaping in the backyard does make me tired after a while.....it doesn't really qualify as work.)
