How many hours do you work in a week?
I usually work 46-48 hours in a five day week. Worked saturday and put in 58 hours this week. Makes for a nice paycheck but I'm beat! :yesnod:

I try to keep it at 40hrs. unless there is a crisis. Our company is pretty much mon-fri. but sometimes we put in a Saturday or stay a few hours.

Because its summer here and 2 of my 3 employees are college students...I give them all the hours at my business.
So I'm working Wednesday nights 5-10. Thats 5 hours a week....of course I'm in there for about an hour every day just to make sure things are running smooth.
Now when September rolls around I'll be working a regular week...about 40-50hrs. And November thru Jan I'll be putting in min of 70 hours a week. I own a retail kiosk at a mall.

Usually 50-60 hours a week. Too bad I'm on salary. :mad
Thank goodness I like my job and it is fun (and if I keep saying that maybe one day I will actually start to believe it). :confused:

Since I've become a partner with The VetteWrench, I'm putting in an easy 80+ hours a week. Working my tail off to get the on-line store going.

Well right now I have it good! M-F 50 hours. But let me tell you, when I was on the trail as a Drill Sergeant 96-100 a week non-stop for two years! It busted my butt but oh well I lived to tell about it! :flag

I'm a shiftworker, 12 hour shifts. 36 hours one week, 48 hours the next. The only good thing about it is that I get a lot of time off in middle of the week which makes any shopping that needs to be done easier with most other people at work.

I am working 45-60 hours a week so I can buy a corvette by the end of the summer. But I have it easy-today I worked at a wedding reception, drank beer and got the number of a cute brides maid. Although, I only make the California minimum, but I sure have fun doing it! :cheers:

I usually work 40-50 hours a week. I'm on salary and I don't work unless I have too. I always tell myself that "I love my work", someday I'll start to believe it.

Re: How many hours do you work in a week? (JRD77VET)
40hrs regularly, unless something breaks. I'm also going to college part time, so if you count that then about 50hrs a week for this semester. Last semester (work + college) I had Saturday off and half of Sunday, so probably 70+ hrs.
I'm not doing that again, "I work to live" is more like it. If you were on your death bed tomorrow, would you be able to say that you lived a healthy life and did the hobbies you wanted to do a spent the time with your loved ones like you wanted?
Slow down, you only live once. :cheers:

Too bad about the new corporate way of saving money by firing half the employees and making the remaining half work twice as hard :smash:
