[Descartes]

My days are never the same, and since I work from home I don't have much of a schedule. But there is a minimum of events that must occur throughout the day:

1) Eat. I eat whenever I get the chance, but it's usually ~12.
2) Brew two doppios espresso. I usually brew one in the morning, and another in the afternoon.

That's pretty much it. I visit clients throughout the day, or I spent my time in my home office. I don't like having the same damn schedule every single day. I need some variety.

Well, I am going back to school for something completely tangential to my career, but it's part time. I own a small consulting company, and I spend most of my time working with clients on software projects. That's it in a nutshell. I work from home, but spend probably 25-50% of my time working on-site with clients.

[nageov3t]

I wake up at 8 pm, go to work at 12 am, and go to sleep around 12 pm.

somewhere in there, I shower, eat two meals, and surf the net.

it's kinda hard to break it down into specifics, though, because my work day is never the same. some nights, it's dead all night and I literally do nothing but surf the net, shop online, talk to my friends on AIM, and leave around 7 am. other nights (like last night), I'm doing work non-stop, barely have time to run to the bathroom, and don't leave until 10 am.

no real way to predict it in advance either. it all depends on how nice the servers feel like being.

 

[DCFife]

6:15 - 7:00 Get up somewhere in there
7:28 - Leave for work
7:30 - Arrive at work
7:30:01 - 12:29:59 - Check servers, write programs, check the market open, see if the Dodgers won
12:30 - 1:30 - LUNCH
1:30:01 - 4:29:59 - Write more programs, watch the market dive from intersession highs, check ATOT
4:30 - Go home

D

 

[300MDemon]

[Maetryx]

I'm in management, and I have found that we're the "everything else" people.

For example: the heavy equipment operators operate heavy equipment. The managers do everything else. We do everything else so that the heavy equipment operators don't have to stop operating heavy equipment. We get the correct permits, the right equipment, the necessary supplies, develop beneficial relationships with other departments, handle customer complaints, etc etc.

My role, as asistant manager, has been also compared to camp counselor. I'm the person that most everyone will come to and vent or chat or express their ideas.

06:15 get up
06:20 run bath water - read http://www.andrewtobias.com/ while waiting for bath to fill up.
07:00 done with bathroom stuff, so I read tech news on news.com, watching for bits about the SCO Group lawsuit against IBM
07:25 Leave for work
07:45 arrive for work - chat with my right hand man in the hazmat building and the litter patrol kid that has an Alienware and bought Far Cry on my recommendation
08:00 check email, read my whiteboard notes, look at the papers on my desk to figure out priorities

[generally a bunch of work related stuff happens, answer a lot of questions about hazardous waste, work on writing invitations for bids or request for quotes, check progress on ongoing contractual services, keep my head down so my boss doesn't pester me.... ]

When I have some down time, I visit:
http://www.wellsfargo.com/
http://www.ameritrade.com/
http://www.newegg.com/
http://www.gogamer.com/
http://pc.ign.com
http://pc.gamespy.com/
and, of course, http://forums.anandtech.com/

12:00 I usually go out for lunch, even though that is a horrible financial and often terrible dietary decision. I just can't stand staying at work during that hour

13:00 after lunch, my right hand man and I usually make some plans for improving our lot in life... or at least at work...

14:00 If at this point, I have gotten some significant things accomplished for the day, I typically slow down. If I haven't, I stay the course until quitting time.
17:00 Even though it's quitting time, I typically stay a little late, then leave around 17:20

On Wednesday nights, I go the a volunteer hazardous materials response team meeting until 20:30 or so.

yeah, I meant what I said. I usually go to bed around noon. my place of work = 24x7x365, including all holidays, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks.

but I switched shift with my roommate, so I'm working from 2 am - 10 am tomorrow, which means that I get to stay up a few hours later than normal.
