So, I ask you, do you work when you are there or do you stare into the air without a care? :)

I worked 11.2 hours yesterday. I usually average 9-10 hours a day and only get paid for 8...go figure. How many hours a day do you work on average?

I get paid to do 7½ so 7½ I generally do. It's flexi-time so if I am in the middle of something at 5.30 I tend to stay and finish it and then go home early another day that month. I don't see the point in working for longer than you're being paid for, though – if they want you to work for longer then have something in the contract to that effect and pay you properly for it!

Had a place once that tried to tell me they require 10 hours per day but only pay for 8. Worse yet, the manager said my family life was a conflict of interest for me working longer. I told them to go to hell.

When I realized that, I asked for the part time. :)

It depends, but usually 10 to 12 hours. Then again, I own the company so I'm a statistical outlier.

You lend credence to what I have always heard about people that run their own businesses...long hours, usually.

I have 'informal' flexi. There are two ways to approach it in my mind; 1. You have required hours and if more is needed they pay you for them. 2. You have required hours and if more are required then you can do less when they are not (formal or otherwise). I would not work for a company that only took and didn't give.

It's true unfortunately. The sheer amount of red tape I have to wade through, and crap out of the government that I have to review is staggering.

just over 8. Stopping exactly when the clock says to and forgetting what you were working on instead of going a few minutes to get something wrapped up is rather wasteful. Besides which, when I'm in the middle of a coding cycle I tend to be only vaguely aware of the time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

I should do 8 hours 24 a day, but usually it makes more. I'm excluding 1.30 hours comuting every day...

:confused: Do you mean 8 hours in a 24 hour day?

I am supposed to be here for 7 hours 24 minutes a day. I am not sure how much of that can be counted as work.

So you can claim you work 24x7 ? :rolleyes:

Again, it is part time (I suppose there are other countries where it is allowed as well). :)

[My articles]There's a vicious rumor going around that you only work part time. Is this true? That's just absurd. Oh, and I'd like to move to Italy too, can I come and stay with you? It's you or Silvio Berlusconi, from what I hear he throws better parties, but is a bit of a slob.

6 hours, to the minute. Today's the first day I didn't arrive exactly on the hour, just moved to my new apartment and misjudged the time it would take to get here, walked in a whole minute late. :laugh: Although school starts back up soon and I'll be down to 8-12 hours a week (plus maybe a second job TAing the intro C++ class).
