Originally Posted By Disneymom443 I just starded back at my old job, the Disney Store. I only 16-21 hr. a week. I'm a housewife that's a 24/7 job. 3 kids you know. Do I think it is too much, no I love it and would not change a thing. Going back to work, that is just my spending money to play with.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper I am busy seasonally. Summertime I'm right at 40 hours per week. The rest of the year I can go up to 48-56 but usually grab some comp time to make up for it.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I tend to work between 60 - 70 hours a week, though I do wish it were less at times, at least it is rewarding most of the time.
Originally Posted By EdisYoda Right now I work 0 hours a week (not counting certification studying and job hunting) and yes I would like to work more.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg at this point it's a pretty sad 8-20 hours a week. But when you consider full time University (last year thank god !), a percussion class I help out with, celtic drum lessons, Brownie meetings and all that household up keep and feeding people whatnot, Im not sure how I remember what the heck I am doing some days =)
Originally Posted By -em Right now about 45 hours a week- I generally work 3 pm to 1 am but now Im getting day shifts back so itll add some 7-5ish and 9 to 7ish shifts back in -em
Originally Posted By officerminnie My regular job is 8:30-4:30 M-F, 40 hours. Never more, never less (sounds kinda mundain, but at least I can make plans around my job that won't ever have to be cancelled!) I can choose to work whichever car seat inspection events I would like on random Saturdays throughout the year. I usually do 1 or 2 a month for my "play" money. If I could make the same money working fewer hours, I would work part time, but this single mom needs the 40 hour week.
Originally Posted By alexbook I'm paid for 40 hours per week (8-4:30 M-F, with 30 mins off for lunch). I'm actually at my workplace a lot more than that, but then I goof off a lot, so it probably balances out, more or less.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd I average about 50 hours a week sometimes up to 60. I wish it were less and I had more time with my family. Independently wealthy would work.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle Regular 40 hours for me. I could go for less hours, but would want the full paycheck. (sigh)
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I am scheduled for 40 hours a week, but usually work about 1-2 extra hours a day. Too much work!!! They wanted to make me salary but I said no. I enjoy the time and a half for the extra hours.
Originally Posted By lesmisfan at the moment anywhere between 16-21 and yeah i wish it was a little more but considering i just started over at the disneyland resort and its really slow over at DCA were i work, i am not getting that much hours. i probably will once post training is done and over with.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I average 60 hours a week physically at my job. I sometimes take work home on the weekends or weeknights. It's not unusual in the busy season for me to put in 70 to 80 hours. I am salary though. I am afford the ability as the Director of my facility to use my time while at work for other things (LOL) besides just work. My presence is important here but I'm not always just focused on work, I can do Indian related stuff and such. I am also my own boss so I set my hours, I come and go as I want. So there's good and bad in the hours I keep.
Originally Posted By DAR I work your typical 40 hour work week. Techincally, about 8 of those hours are spent talking to people, getting something to drink, internet use and using the bathroom.
Originally Posted By LVBelle When I'm not on maternity leave, I spend between 40 and 45 hours at work each week. I also occasionally bring work home but I try really hard not to have to do that!
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter I have a pretty unique job situation. I work two days a week, from three to four hours on each of those days, driving a visually impaired woman on her errands. I've been doing this for the past five years. So I'm primarily a stay at home mom with a very fun, very part time job. I love it. And I have no desire to work more hours, as this gives me plenty of time for volunteering at the kids' schools and so forth. ("So forth" being many hours spent reading and playing on the computer. Oh, yes, and co-writing that critically important online advice column that has changed the lives of countless thousands).
Originally Posted By 4Disnee I work about 20 hours per week sometimes a little more. I would love to stay at home but getting out of the house is also nice. I help out my Grandmother by mowing her lawn and taking her places. I work in the classroom on my days off. So it is like working fulltime. LOL But I really love my job and my life so I cant complain.
Originally Posted By ReadingMom Technically I don't have a job, however, I do homeschool my youngest (12) and take two classes myself. My son's schooling is about 18-20 hours per week and my own classes take about six hours per week. I handle the money and pay the bills for the household as well as balance the checkbook which takes a few hours. Any phone calls that have to be made regarding repair of anything is dealt with by me as well as anything that has to be done with our cars. As far as grocery shopping....2oony usually does that! Regarding too many or too few hours.....it just takes how long it takes. Some weeks I'm really busy....others I'm not.
