Let me be the first to raise the BS flag!

Well let's see...

24x7=168-16*=152.

*16/2=8. Since most mere mortals settle for 8 hour days, this is like having two days off!

Funny how people complain about how short their weekends are at 48 hours when they work on 40 hours a week! Now that is slackin'!

:p

about 40 or 41.
I'm always on time to work, and usually I get out within 15 minutes of being on time, sometimes even ON time!!!

Back when I first dropped out of college, I was averaging between 50 and 60 hours per week.... there was overtime a plenty, however, I was only making $10 an hour at the time ....

Also, when I was in High school (Jr and Senior year) and college, I averaged 30+ hours per week during the school year, and 50+ during the summers.



So, basicly, I'm taking it easy now .... it's nice to have free time to be a bum.

0. I'm 14 and can't have a job.

If you want to count school, I'll have six hours of Academic Decathlon practice every day for three weeks starting Monday after finals this week.

Average 50 a week. Minimum of 45 max of 80 or 90. I work weekends once or twice a month. I then go home and spend 2 or 3 hours a night working on my side businesses so total amount of work is probably 60 or 65 hours a week.

One of my coworkers has this problem where he can't sleep and stays at the office for 2 or 3 days straight only going home to take a shower. He's put in 120 or 130 hour weeks for us.
