How many hours do you work each week?

At the moment it seems like 25 hours per day and 8 days per week.

 

I worked as many hours as I could possibly cope with until last year .
Now semi retired
Now just do what I need to get by working for a lad who once worked for me
He has grounds care contracts with health centres
I’m quite happy litter picking etc when people look at me in my high viz jacket picking up crap
But don’t speak
Little do they know I will be going to my house in Spain tomorrow

 

It's because you look like you're doing community service ... Happy New Year

 

Just been told about some new research on sleep pattern types among people ... Will try to dig it up. Sounds like you could do with finding out which type you are in case you can tweak life to fit.
(Apparently lots of us think we're a different type thanks to conditioning )

 

I know pics to follow
happy new year

 

Not the most "scientific" version, but ......

 

I think some are camels they wake up with the humps and go to bed with the humps ............. and go for ages without water

 

There’s the hours I say I work and get paid for, and the actual hours I do work - which is always less!

Generally paid 41-48 hours a week, depends on what work is rostered, but just finished my Christmas/New Year stint of 9x12 hour shifts on the bounce, so got a few days off now.

 

I'm going to work in February about a week but I haven't been told yet

 

Or ‘special’.

 

9 - 630 4 days a week if i'm lucky usually leave at 7 pm.
Fridays i get in for 730 8 ish and leave at 6 pm.
I usually do a bit of extra work in the evenings after putting the kids in bed for an hour and a couple of hours on Sunday while eastenders is on ..

 

Zero now - retired 16 years. But teaching the hours were open ended. Contact time was officially 5 periods of 1 hour each day = 25 hours per week ( with maybe 2 or 3 periods marking time). But I reckon that for each hour of contact (teaching up to GCSE) it took 3 hours preparation & marking and maybe 5 hours for A level teaching.

 

Last contract around 65 hours a week plus 600 miles a week of driving....

Next gig, dunno!

 

On paper 37 hours a week.
Average 40-45 no overtime paid.
Plenty have it worse, and after 2 years of unemployment post-redundancy in recent times I’m happy to have a decent wage and reasonable hours - the 2 hours a day commute is a bit of a bummer though, but at least it’s driving and going inthe opposite direction to London.

That’s probably about the same hours as I did
Moony Without all the driving
I had payed off my mortgage by 45
I had a plan and it payed off
The Nippers nowadays want it all without putting the hours in
They get tired now bless um

 

I semi retired in 2018 and retired completely in September 2019 as I still didn't have enough time. At the moment I can't believe how I ever used to work 40+ hours a week, but I suppose time will tell.................

 

I’m paid for 37.5 hours a week, actual work is 2 12 hour days then 2 12 hour nights, 4 off and repeat. Which can give some nice time off.
