Title: Hours worked
Post by: pingu on March 28, 2008, 06:41:21 pm: Hi all....I have been geeking it again and have worked out that In my last 8 week work period...(I have an 8 weekly round) I worked 138 hours and 44 minutes.

I start my day from the moment I get into my van and end the day when I turn the key off when I arrive home....( I know we do loads more but I just do not include that).

How many hours do you work per month or what ever your work periods are ?

Cheers
Dave.

I start at around 5a.m and usually finished about 1pm and do at least five days a week.

I think this is a good days work done as i don't stop for breaks as i eat sandwiches on the move between jobs.

So are you part time

Totally agree about time with family (it is priceless ) thats why i start early and get home before my kids finish school, so i can pick them up.

Post by: Londoner on March 29, 2008, 07:25:30 am: Usually at my first job for 8 oclock then finish around 4.30. Once I get going I like to keep going because if I stop I lose the plot.

That first job is hard
