I run around walking my boys to school/nursery BUT TOMORROW MY 4 YEAR OLD STARTS SCHOOL.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So they will both be in the same place! So I will do around 12 miles a week less walking! Oh dear. Better stop eating chocolate so often I think.
Originally Posted By Stacers76 Well I work 40 hrs/wk, with usually 1.5-10 hrs OT week...I also commute 45-90 min each way, depending on traffic....so I leave at 6am Wed-Sat and get home anywhere from 6:45p-7:30pm-ish...OT after a 10 hr day isn't fun, but it's worth it on the paycheck. )

His last school was NOT one he could walk home from. I would like to get a job with full-time pay and benefits at 30 hours a week, but I suspect it will be at LEAST 40.
Originally Posted By Ursula I work about 55 hours per week.

I am salaried, so no OT or DT. I wish I made more money for my hours, or least get some recognition for my availability to my clients.

I'm lucky that we have overtime available at work as I've been able to get my finances back in good standing after losing my job nearly three years ago, and I'm also fortunate in that I telecommute. It's been about two years since I started working from home, and it's such different world! Sooo less stressful, lol.

I like being available to my kids and my grandkids.

Originally Posted By Labuda I put in, on average, 40 hours a week at Dell, and then about 20 at the theatre (for the current show, that is - amount per week varies by the show).

Oh, yeah, my hours at Dell are 0700-1600 M-F and not looking to change anytime in the forseeable future. Days like today stink becuase I only took 15 min for lunch, but cool that I got some OT, I guess...

This means I have every other Friday off, those nine hour days are worth it. I work some overtime through out the year, maybe a total of seventy to eighty hours a year. I like the amount of time that I work. It's nice having every other Friday for myself. I wouldn't want to work anymore hours, as that would be too emotionally draining. I wouldn't want to work any less as I would get bored pretty quickly.
