How many Hours a Week do you Work ?

[MrEL]

48 hours at my place of employment and bring home around $1200.
around 20 hours is actually spent doing semi constructive , money earning work. rest of the time involves a fair amount of hiding...........

[kyro_02]

offbooks 12hrs a week(or 1 day) is all i need :P i got it hard !:(

Around 30 hours a week... Just finished high school so i'm taking as many hours as i can.

[FordFan86]

21-24 hours per week... full time uni student otherwise... it gets me by.

[brenx]

I'm in the 40-50 bracket one fortnight and the 30-40 bracket the other. I work fulltime but I'm on a monthly roster system. Time off? I'm at work now rofl

[montyv8]

55+, working on trucks and fabrication work.

but going by this thread I need a cushy well paying office job so I can earn lots for doing SFA, and laugh lots at hard working peasants like me ;)

[schmidty]

50 - 75 hrs per week.

There are a lot of people on here putting in the big hours.

[MotherNatureVer2]

Im oncall 24/7....... So therefore I work 24/7 :P

[kaytonk]

50+, we are 24/7 aswell, unfortunately it seems to be me that does the night shift aswell. You can survive on 3 hours sleep a night.

[Cam]

The results could vary greatly, lol

I drive my Tilt Tray approx 12 to 18 hours per day 6 days a week. Sometime i work a few hours on Sunday. Last friday I left my house at 4:00 in the morning and got home right on 11:30 that night.

[GXL078]

I am at work for around 30 hours per week, less for lunch and when I go for walks. I occaisionally get work to do and the rest of the time I am on the net or phone (not work related). I am only emplyed til the end of the year however, then I expect to be going to jail early in the new year.

[86XFFairmont]

is there an option ove "Hours all over the joint and being on call every 2nd wkend" lol


thats what ya get for driving tow trucks i guess and going to accidents, call outs all the tim at all hours aswell...

[Jeld-Wen Falcon]

Ive only just started my first job which is 35-40hrs. Ill see what happens after I settle in and might get another part-timer.

[CAMS290]

I am a owner driver sub contractor for Boral Quarries.
I work 10 hours per day Monday to Friday, and about 7 hours on a Saturday.

Then i work on the truck for about another 5 hours every Saturday arvo.

60 + hours per week.

[351buzz]

Usually get 55 hrs in by lunchtime friday. No weekend work for me.
When fire restrictions are in I have to knock off by 9AM or midday, so basically do shift work and then try to sleep during the stinking hot day. OH JOY.

[rodderz]

I have my own landscaping business, when really busy up to 45-50hrs a week then another 15 hours or so after hours doing quotes and paperwork

[DTFRMONT]

I'm a public servant, so I work around 40 hours a week (manage to take a flex day every couple of weeks or so). Beats my previous career (Retail management for well known discount retail chain) where I would ususally work up to 80 hours a week but only be paid for 48 (the joys of being paid a salary). In my last month there, I worked 3 weeks straight including weekends.

[MITCHAY]

Not enough hours! 30 if I'm lucky. Used to do about 60+ a week and would earn a shitload to put into my car. Now I have a good base to start from, I have no money!

The holidays are comming soon and I'll have 3 whole days off instead of one. I will be going insane.

[rag top]

I work over 50hrs per week, partly due to 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs. The part time jobs help keep me sane.

[4.9 EF Futura]

I usually do something in the order of 50 to 55 hrs. Last two weeks have been above or around 60 hours.... including a 15 hour ripper the week before last.

Guess that puts me in the workaholic range. Probably a fair comment.

Lol, what's even more suggestive of my workaholicness is the annual leave balance... ive had like 1 week off in the past 2 years so there's 7 (going on 8) weeks sitting there... bout 300 hours.

EDIT: Just to add - i DO like my work, its not like im held here at gunpoint.

[MITCHAY]

I can't remember the last time I had a week off, that didn't have public holidays in it. Yeah it's still a week off but everyone else has it off too so it doesn't really count :P

[XYGTHO]

Usually 60+ hours a week. Work a full time job and part time job weekends which is usually 10 - 20hours. On top of that i have to find time to study as i'm studying engineering part time.
