So who works crazy hours at work?

[woodsy]

self employed for a long time now, only way to roll. Still work alot but much larger returns than working for someone else making them rich.

heard that!!

I am waiting for Ryan to chime in and tell us he mows lawns when he is not driving his stang

As a matter of a fact I've still got 20 vacation days left
I drive 100km back and forth to work every day... Company vehicle with gas card. ^_^

Nothing like the smell of fresh cut grass though!

36 hours one week, 48 the next....3 days on the short week and 4 on the long week, never work more than 3 days straight, 12 hours a day....it's awesome. Friday comes like 3 times a week for me and i get 2 day weekends every time i get a day off, and every other weekend is a 3 day weekend...it rocks.

i work the same hours you do... also have the option to work anytime i want and leave when i want on my days off... i just can't work more then 15hrs in a day...

but i can 15hrs a day 7 days a week if i really wanted to...

I've worked 54-56 hours a week during the summer for the past 3 years at a Harley-Davidson dealership. I get my hours cut back to around 40 in the winter because people are pussies and don't ride in the cold. It's great having time off, but sucks having no money. I love my job though!

I usually work 47-51 hours a week and al it seemed like I did was work, come home and sleep and go back to work again.. I have a thyroid disorder though, so I am tired pretty much all the time even on medication.. I just got a promotion though and got bumped to salary, so my hours will go down and my pay will go up. Plus I get all the perks of being upper management, company vehicle, gas card, company outings, 2 weeks of vacation, fishing trips, etc. Working hard and busting your ass will pay off eventually.. I busted my ass for 2 years in college, got my degree and got a job.. And now I see that I am finally getting somewhere.. My girlfriend complained before about my work habbits, but now she sees that my efforts werent fruitless and understands why I worked all I did..

I worked for the USPS as a temp. employee for 9 months a few years ago. It was a parcel Air Mail facility (tossing lots of boxes and bags full of mail).

We usually worked 40 hours plus 4-5 hours overtime. It always got busy at the holidays and in December it peaked. We got 54.97 hours the 2nd week of Dec, 66.16 hours in the 3rd, and Christmas week we got 81.51 hours. Most I've ever worked in one week. Go home, sleep a few hours, go to work. I went into robot mode. I was pretty tired of that job after that.

I work 40 hours a week 6:30-3 and then i start school T,W,TH from 6-9 so i have just a little bit of a life. I hate going to school. I just wish i could be finished and start living my Fn' life already!

 

[xherdlr]

I work 14 days a month... With that schedule I get a week off a month...Plus they give me 3 weeks vacation...I cant complain

 

[88gt]

standard 40hrs/week....not too bad...but, company flies me to Houston once a week on the corporate jet-leave @ 6:30am and return by 5pm same day....I don't need no damn airport security!!! Man I love the oil business!!!

p.s....can't wait til the new learjet 45 gets here...

 

[SPEEDYLIFSAVR]

24 on 48 off , sometimes 48 on 24 off if I pick up an overtime shift or get "drafted" which means you are forced to work mandatory overtime , its a county based EMS service and all trucks must be on the road 24/7 , peoples lives depend on it , sucks when you have plans though , on top of that I am a deputy on SWAT and on call 24/7......keeps me busy!! but if I take one shift off I have 5 days off.....2 shifts 10 days off....so If I geet burned out I just take a vacation day!

So let me understand this you work 14 days a month but only get a week off a month where are the rest of the days going?

 

[88GTStreetRod]

I work 6 AM to about 6-7PM every day with an hour and 20minute commute. I am also on call 24 hrs a day. Yes.... it does suck!!

 

[Grn92LX]

I start at 7am and i'm usually home by 11:30am but paid til 4pm. I hate these long days I work maybe 20hrs a week and get paid for 40hrs, it sucks, really it does

I have worked since May anywhere from 50-60 hours on an average. Two weeks ago I worked 72 hours.

I also go to school at the University of Central Arkansas for 9 hours. Working out atleast every other day and no less. Homework, demanding girlfriend...etc.

It is pretty draining...

Last year I used to work crazy hours. A few weeks I was close to 80 hours.

Lately I dont work much more than 40 hours because of a screwy situation where my boss owes me 60+ hours.
