The Regular 40 Hour Work Week

[Lycanthrope]

40 to 42, every week, every month....

 

[BDub]

36 hours per week. I consider that retirement hours after being self employed for 20 years.

 

[Fisherman25]

40-45.

 

[tikkalover]

This time of year 80-90 hour a week for 2 to 3 months. ;:;banghead The rest of the time 40 to 50. Get 6 weeks vacation a year.:;:rockit

 

[Wild and Free]

44 per week + 4 hours travel time per week. unless on weekend call 4+- times a year then all bets are off.
The shift work is worse than the hours/week.

My job is pretty flexible. During the summer I try to work 9 hours a day Monday - Wednesday and then leave early to golf Thursdays and early to fish on Fridays. During the winter I try to work 9 hrs a day Monday-Thursday and leave early Fridays to ice fish. I usually am pretty close to 40.

 

[Allen]

Highly variable for me, supposed to work 40, but when I have the kids I get in about 35-38. Weeks I don't have the kids are more like 40-42, and then there's the busy season where I work anywhere up to 35 days in a row of 8-16 hr days. Hopefully those years are now behind me (us).

And wow have I drawn the short straw lately with the timing on bad weather with my days off!

 

[Captain Ahab]

The first 4-5 years of my career were 60+ hour weeks. Evening, Saturdays, you name it. The last 5-6 years have been much easier to take. There are weeks when 40 hours can happen, but I prefer the 25-35 hour deal if it works out. I have actually started working more now than I did a couple years ago just to be better at it. It's not as much fun as fishing as much as I used to, but it will put the kids through college and put me on a solid track to retirement.

 

[CWS]

12 hour days, with 7 on 7 off, I start work on a Friday and work until the following Thursday then off for a week and do it all over again.

Can I send you a resume?

 

[Plain Skeeter]

45 - 50 that OT puts gas in the boat.

 

[MSA]

40 Monday thru Friday 8 to 5

 

[fullrut]

50-60 a week. 6 weeks vacation plus holidays. Have to carry a cell phone at all times though.

 

[walleye94]

Salaried but 55 to 60 is probably the norm. Generally Monday through Friday so that leaves me the weekends to play.

 

[cavedude]

45-58 hours with weekends off is the norm for me. For some reason when I mention leaving work early Fridays they usually end up being my longest days.

 

[5575]

I work 4 12s so I have allot of time off to fish and hunt during the weekdays.
Like yesterday, it was pretty nice out and not a boat on the water but us. :;:cheers

 

[The Mantis]

25-50 in winter, 45-70 in the summer.

 

[Deermeister]

Average 35-40 in the winter and anywhere between 40-90+ spring through fall, depending on the weather. And a ton of weekends other than in the winter
