If you could make your own 40 hour work week schedule what would it be?

[miri]

It can be any combination of hours over the week as long as its 40 + 5 hours for lunch. The 5 hours of lunch must be used at least once every 3-5 hours of work.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Probably the same thing I do now, if I'm forced to take lunch. 9:30/10-6:30/7 M-F.

If I'm not forced to take lunch, I'd do 9-7 M-Th.

I would work four days a week and I would show up when I sobered up from the night before!

 

[bignateyk]

hmm well i pretty much pick my schedule as it is now...

I never set an alarm, but I normally get up around 7, and am at work by 7:45. Come home around 4.

Usually its something like

8-5 M-R
9-2 F

edit:

and who takes an hour for lunch? I dont normally clock it at all because i only take like 15 minutes. Then again, I can pretty much take breaks whenever i feel like it at work, so I dont need a big break during the middle of the day.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I want to start doing it where I work:
5:00 am - 1:30 pm (forced 30 minute lunch) 5 days a week.

MOre realisticly:
5:00 am - 2:15 pm (forced 30 minute lunch) M-Th (so that's 35 hours so far)
5:00 am - 10 am (no forced lunch ... not lunch time yet ) on friday

 

[Sukhoi]

I would love about a 9-5:30.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

9AM - 1PM
4PM - 8PM

That schedule gives you 3 hours in between for lunch, nap, running an errand, whatever.

 

[Dunbar]

9 - 6 which is my current schedule, get to sleep in until 8am. I might come in at 9:30/10am if I had the option. Or four 10 hour days if I worked back in our corporate office.

 

[BlancoNino]

I would work Monday - Wednesday with 13 hours each. Seriously, if you're going to work 10 hour days, you might as well work as much as possible since you're not going to be able to do much when you get off anyway and have an extra day.

Yeah, I realize that 13 x 3 = 39. Fsck off.

 

[Jeff7]

If I'm living alone, Monday - Thursday, 10pm - 9am. I like nightshift, but if I'm living with other people, they always want me to be awake when they are.
Otherwise, I guess I'd take something like 9am - 8pm, still Mon-Thurs.

7-5 M-TH
7-12 F - lunch

 

[sundev]

Mon: 10am-8pm (10 hours incl. 1 hour break from 3pm-4pm)
Tue: 10am-8pm (10 hours, 1 hour break " " ")
Wed: 10am-7pm (9 hours, 1 hour break from 3pm-4pm)
Thu: 11am-6pm (7 hours, 1 hour break from 3pm-4pm)
Fri: 12pm-4pm (4 hours, 1 hour break from 3pm-4pm) <-- meaning i get out at 3pm.

Best one so far IMO.

 

[Flyback]

Monday: 9A-1P, 1 hr break, 2P-7P, 1 hr break, 8P-12A (13 hrs worked)
Tuesday: 9A-1P, 1 hr break, 2P-7P, 1 hr break, 8P-12A (13 hrs worked)
Wednesday: 8A-1P, 1 hr break, 2P-7P, 1 hr break, 8P-12A (14 hrs worked)

Four day weekend FTW!

 

[mwtgg]

I'm a fan of my 6:30am to 7:00pm schedule with two half hour lunch breaks. More realistically, M-F 6:30pm - 3:00pm with one half hour lunch break is good enough.

 

[manlymatt83]

I already do.

~10:00 AM to ~6:00 PM

 

[TallBill]

I'd work 40 hours straight, no lunch break.

 

[silverpig]

M 6am - 10pm with 1/2 hr breaks at 10 am and 6 pm and 1 hr at 2 pm
T same as M
W 6am - 7 pm with 1 hr break at 12 pm

3 day week ftw

 

[pradeep1]

Work from 6:00 PM - 4:00 AM, Sleep from 5:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Goof off 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM.

 

[b0mbrman]

M-F 6:30 to 3:30, lunch from 10:30 to 11:30

Get to miss the rush hour traffic, and the lunch rush. Heck, I could probably do lunch in half an hour if it were at 10:30

 

[FoBoT]

Monday 4 am to midnight, lunch from midnight to 5 am, then finish up the week Tuesday 5 am to 1 am (Wed)

that way you have a nice 5 day weekend

Hell yey!

 

[Chaotic42]

Mon-Fri 5:30am to 2:30pm, though a 30 minute lunch break and getting off at 2 would be much better.

 

[KingLeo]

5am-1:30pm 10am Lunch

Thats my current schedule .

That was pretty much my schedule in Iraq...

Well, minus the 5-day weekend

Since I'm a teacher, my schedule is a little different. I'd rather have 6 straight periods of class, without lunch in between. And, I'd prefer to have the "obnoxious" kids earlier in the morning, NOT after they've eaten lunch and had phys ed.
