How many hours do you work in a day?

Every person have the different time to work everyday. Some people spend their time almost a whole day in office or company. Some can fulfill the daily need or even more than they need, because the salary is high enough. Some couldn't fulfill their need because they only get some money. Some people spend the little time to work but the earning is more than enough for their life. That's every person want. Including me. But right now I still spend my time to work about ten hours a day, and free on Saturday and Monday. Yeah, I should be thank God, because still there are so many people spend their time longer than me to work. What about you?

I have a secular work, that requires me to work 8-9 hours a day, though the mandatory time is only 8 hours, Mondays to Fridays. And I am not entitled to overtime pays. My regular job gives me enough for anything, and I am still able to save some of it. During my free time I am here in Mylot and other sites, which gives me a sense of productivity wherein I am liking it much. Yes, we should always be thankful for all the blessings we received. Happy Mylotting!

I worked in a airline ticketing office, i work for 12 hours everyday Monday to Sunday, its so stressful at first and i feel so very tired when i get home, and i don't have time to go shopping, but i have to live with it and get used to it, since this is my choice. But i guess i can't take the other personal responsibilities of mine to be neglected because of my work schedule, now i'm planning to look for another job, because i think i'm being abused already.

I work 12 hours a day, it almost half of the day, it does not bother me how long I stay in my workplace, it doesn't really matter, because I love my job, and this is where I can get a decent amount of Money, My work is my habit, so after work when I go home, all i do is rest eat and sleep, and the next day, same thing happen, 12 hours in work. This is the perfect Job for me, I get lots of benefits.

I work a lot everyday, but my brain continue working when I go to bed. I think that my work and me are the same thing at this moment of my life.Due to actual world economy condicion I try to keep my head over the water and try to keep me alive until come back best days. Now I have no fixed hours, because my mind don't stop and I work every moment, only stop to hve lunch and to go bed.

Well, 8 to 5 is my regular hours. But, quite often I have to continue on till mid-night, to be ready for the presentations to be made the next day, seminars, business meetings, and so on.

I have a tendency to b a workaholic. I always want to make sure that i give my 101%. I don't want my bosses to worry about me not being able to meet what is expected of me. It would sometime go to the extent of lacking sleep.

I work eight hours a day, no work on Saturdays and Sundays. It is the ideal working hours for me. Before, I used to work in a manufacturing industry and we have three shifts. I was always in the 10pm-6pm schedule because older employees would exchange shift to me maybe because I was still young. We always have overtime during that time and so I always end up working 16 hours, meaning two shifts that was 10pm-6am and 6am-2pm. But during the last month of my contract, I only work a single shift and I felt like I have so many extra time to spend.

It depends on what I have planned for the day. I work from home doing child care, blogging, and also doing jobs for different companies from my home.

Hi bintang! Yeah, because we need to reach our goals, we need to work for longer hours than usual. I personally, have my permanent job which requires me to work the usual 8 hours. When I got home, I still have to devote some time for my online work. I am lucky if I don't much work in the office, I could from time to time do my online stuff. I am also hoping to have more time for my family but I now they also understand our present situation. But I make it sure to have time for them during weekends. Have a great day!

Actually I spend most of my waking hours working. If I am not in my regular job I am doing my online jobs. that makes 16 hours a day. quite tiring, but have a few breaks from time to time. but if the family is on line I don't do my online jobs they are my priority so I chat with them. I am not doing anything here so I am doing my online jobs... if I am invited out I go out but I don't initiate going out or partying.

I am a bartender and get below minuem wage because of getting tips. I work 8 to 10 hours a day. The bar is closed on sunday and Monday. So on sunday I clean my house and my three kids, boyfriend and I do fun things together. On Monday I do the grocery shopping and pay some bills and the kids and I have a nice day and I fix a nice supper for my boyfriend when he comes home from work. I love my job and love working so it is fun.

Jobs, for me, are such instruments to fulfill my goals in life. I should say, not all you can work for is a job but all jobs are your work. Jobs are important because you need it and it is your obligation but growing to make your dreams happen is something beyond any jobs in this world. I work for everything, every single day of my life. And if I stopped working, that's the moment I abandoned life.

I recently lost my last job, but when I was working there my hours varied. Although I had been given a schedule from 5am-10am it was more like 5am (with the exception of Mondays, I went in at 4) until the work they wanted me to do was done. The longest I worked in one day was 10 hours. And that was without a lunch! However, it was usually more like 6 or 7 hour days instead. There were a few times my one of my supervisors made me (as well as a couple of other girls), go home after 3 hours or so. Not that work was finished, because there was always more to do. Although she never said, I think it was because of union rules (30 hours max), though that never stopped the other supervisors from giving me more than that! LOL Happy mylotting!

When I use to work (retired now)it would be from 8 to 4pm, eight hour days with 30 minutes for lunch. However, I was always at work an hour before starting time. I like to start the day calm and organized. So I would have that hour to eat and get the faxes distributed to everyone who received a fax overnight. I would make the coffee for the department and by the time everyone started filing in I had eaten and started my day nice and calm.

good day bintang9, since i am working at my own phase, i always see to it that i work to the fullest. as i am working being my own boss. however, if i will be working in a company where a rule should be follow and observed, i guess, i will just render the required 8-hour or 8.5 working schedule for 5 or 6 days. it depends if the company requires 5 or 6 days in a week. but now, i am working to the fullest for me to hit my target earnings.

It all depends on the day but never less than eight hours. If I have to take care of one of the elderlies then it can be a super long day for me. Besides taking care of those two and working online, I also do crafts that I sell. I love to keep busy as I see a lot of people do. Sure wish I could work like I did say five years ago.

With my other online job, I need to wake up 4:30AM and start my work at 5AM until 11AM. After lunch time, I get back to it from 2PM until 6PM. That's also the time I spend for mylotting. Luckily I can do them simultaneously. So in total, 10 and half hours. The remaining time is for rest, housechores and family time. All in a day's work ;)
