Up until 5 months ago I was averaging 95 hour weeks over 6/7 days. I did this for just under a year until it nearly killed me and quit the company.

I now do 40 hours a week for my regular job (Mon - Fri) and took and £8k a year pay-cut for the honour of "normal life". The ironic thing is I had to take a second job to supliment my salary so add another 14 hours part-time at my local Halfords - back to 7 days a week working :rolleyes:

Total 54 hours a week now. A lot less stressed though :)

Officially 7:00am til 3:30pm Monday to Friday but I usually end up working late and coming in early to get things done (plus weekend work when things break). Seems to be the norm these days - I don't know anyone who works "9 to 5".

Well got college taking up 5 days a week but I do:

Weds 3 til 9

Thurs 3 til 9

Sat 11 til 7

Sun 9 til 6

So however much that adds up too. Making the most of my Tax Free life style, cause it ends soon.

42.5ish normally (1/2 hour for lunch each day...) but the last couple of weeks have been significantly longer.

One day I was doing work stuff at 8:15 am and not home until 23:45 - including a round trip to Glasgow (365 miles) and the dismantling of a trade show stand. Spent half of last week at Spring Fair at the NEC setting stuff up and I'm back on Thursday morning for the last 2 days and the take-down :(

Can't wait till its all over and its back to normal - I did nothing but sleep all weekend...
