I'm also including the hour lunch in my math. But not my 40 minute commute each way :oldryan:

Thankfully my commute is only ~20 min. I "can" take a lunch, but it only slows me down and ends up putting me behind so I just eat in the work truck between jobs.

I'm at work till 5 regardless and I'm not hourly, so I'm going to take that hour. It's only a 20 minute drive without traffic but that's pretty much never gonna happen with my work hours.

I'm probably the laziest and work the least out of you lot. Honestly, I probably put in 20-25 hours a week of real work in. I've also got a motivation problem and also feel entitled that I should be making 30% more than I already do.

10 hours of cleaning pools a day is a lot of pool, i assume 5 * 10 or is it 8 x 6 :oldryan:

i have not been able to count this number since 2015 which was my last real job, it varies too much week to week

Lol i wish it was just 50 hours

Standard is 56 but typical between clients im pulling 70 or 80 hour work weeks to keep folks safe

But you know im rich because i have grocery money

So rude today’s climate we are all feeling inflation

My sleep is a disaster because i pull overnights more often than not

My boss is giving me the month if October off which im looking forward too still need to be on call though in case of no shows/incompetent druggies show up

Sorry rant im bitchy like we all are about work love most of the clients though

I am feeling much better about my 8:30-5 working hours. Works out at 42.5 hours but stress is pretty low, and I WFH 98% of the time.

However, we're going through a merger next month, so things are potentially uncertain...

There are days when I’m so glad I’m still hourly and not salaried - only ever work 40ish hours a week but if I have to do more that over time pay kicks into gear after 40. But even then it’s rare to go over 50 hours a week.

that sucks. maybe try to go for a walk, think which dealines, if any, you can meet. then contact relevant people to postpone the others
