Thanks: Gave 168, Got 246 | How long do you spend at work?
As in what time do you leave and come back at?
I worked out although I do a 38 hour week, I do closer to 48 with travel included.
so taking into account traffic etc for an 8.30 - 5pm shift I leave at 7am and come back at 6pm so when I look at it that way my wages aren't so great as I first thought.
Just wondered if I was the only one spending so much time away?
Liam

far to long i spend  7 hours a day at work my wife works 20 hours a week(keep telling her she is a kept woman)  i do my full time hours of 37.5 hours a week i like spending time at home with my wife and little one that time you cant make up imo and money is nothing compared to it.
besides 7 hours a day in my job is more than enough |

I work from home or am out with clients or internal meetings at HQ ... almost always exceeds 37.5 hrs including 'working dinners', overnight/weekend travel and evening and weekend time on reports/analyses (bloody pivot tables and metrics !!!  )
I even dream about work!

Leave home at 7:00 arrive work 7:30
Leave work at 4-4:30 arrive home at 5-5:30 (nightmare evening traffic)
40+ hour week plus planning/marking etc at home when necessary.
School trips occasionally duirng weekends/holidays/evenings add extra (unpaid) time too.

When I work from home, prob work from 9am to 6pm with very few breaks.
When I'm in London, I leave home about 5.30am and get home about 8.15pm
When I'm at our other office, I leave home about 5am and get home about 9pm.
I'm very glad that I can work at home 3 days per week!
Mind you, I've been working all day since 7.30 and still not quite finished

8am - 6pm Monday - Friday, But as an Oracle DBA there's always the evening chore of dialing into work and checking the database (As we have an US east coast office that we have to support) and the odd weekend to conduct maintenance throughout the year
