    About 60 hours a week with one full-time gig and a client with a windows application I wrote. This is about all the time I have. If I go over that, it cuts into my sleeping time, or I starve cuz I don't have time for food :)

      Unscientific survey time - how many hours / week do you spend working? This would include paid or unpaid overtime, plus moonlighting. Taking time off to spend some time training does not count... Curious.

      90% of waking hours. Overtime? You don't get that in the games industry.

              Programing is the life ;) and a good one at that

                50 - 60 In the office 10 - 15 after the little 'un has gone to bed.

                I'm never wrong, just occasionally misinformed.

                  I'd guess at around 90-95.

                  And CP Lounge participation is over and above that? My guess is you've managed to get your sleeping down to 5-6 hours a night? :confused:

                    Lately, between 35 - 55 hours... depends on how urgent the work is and how focussed I am. But this time last year I was putting in 50-60 hour weeks quite regularly.

                      About 65-70 pretty regularly. I would happily work more, but I need sleep & food. Every now and again I find myself getting frustrated by real-world intrusions into my work. Things like having to get up and go to the toilet or answer the phone really annoy me.

                          9 to 10 hours a day, 20 days a month. So, up to 200 hours. But since i spend a lot of those hours writing messages on Code Project... :) Then I go home to my computer.

                            WOW! Ya'll make me feel inept at 55 to 60 hours a week, which does not include Wednesday afternoons playing golf after lunch and Saturday mornings , and playing around with my woodworking shop on weekends making my wife wood funiture, plus yard maintenance (mowing, pool, landscaping) and having supper ready for the wife and kids, except Wednesdays of course. Of course the wife who works about the same, does fill in with taking care of the kids extra activities, like dance and gymnastics... However, her and I do plan our time together, important you know. 90 hours...did that before I wanted fullfilling life. fla_golfr...
