Lightweight, 60 hour weeks used to be the norm for me.
40 hours on a day job and 20 plus on an evening/weekend job.

did 55 p/week as a brickie's labourer for a while.

it's the (semi)cruisy student life for me at the moment though....enjoy doing real work

enjoy getting payed as well though

56 hours! You only part-time? 7am-6pm 6 days a week...... and yes, after 6 months it is slowly killing me! Christ i need a holiday!

I do at least 50 hours a week, every week.

I take 10 days off each year.

I don't mind the hours, but my boss is a complete Twat.

But hey, that's self employment for you..

Cheers

Would now be a bad time to say that I only do a 4-day week?

I make it my sole mission to work no more than 7 hours a day - 1 hour of that is down the pub (at least)

Same as me, although they are 12 hour days and in fact 2 of them are actually 12 hour nights

I've been working 80 hours a week, for over 5 months.
I went out to see a band on Saturday night. It felt like a Tuesday night to me. What day is today?

[andy mac]

80 hours a week here. We used to do 12 hrs on, 12 off on the boats, for the length of our 'tour'. Could be 5 weeks, or could be 3 months... 56 hours.. Lame arse!
Plus we couldn't go home, we had to spend our off time on the boat, at work so to speak!

I used to do 80 hour weeks often, and pulled the odd 90 hour from time to time.

Own business, self inflicted etc. I work about 50-60 hours a week these days. My goal being to finish work by 7-8pm on a friday night. I dream of being able to knock off after a 40 hour week!

[JonRB]

Eeee, you lot have it easy. I work a 22 hour day with 2 hours overtime, get up 3 hours before I go to bed, and my boss regularly stabs me to death and dances on my grave singing "glory hallelujah".

(Sorry, but someone had to do it)

[shadytree]

Done a 55hr week for the last 18 years

Got to pay for me Aston's somehow

[saxo-stew]

my average for the past few years has been 60 hours. im 24 but feel 42 sometimes.

need a new career.

[Antwerpman]

If I do 50 Hours I feel like I am skiving!!

Usually 55-60 but can go up to 70 during really crazy times. Been doing this for the last 10 years and cant see it comming to an end. Luckily at the moment I am in a 50 hour per week phase so am enjoying it while it lasts (until mid november I reckon)

Unfortunately it didnt pay for an Aston
