Office hours

[ghostrunner]

When I'm an overnight pharmacist it'll be similar, but on a grander scale...10:00pm to 8:00am for seven days on, then I have seven days off. Beautiful.

Seems like that would screw with your clock quite a bit unless you still kept the same hours on your off days.

I'm usually a 6:30/7:00 to 3:00/3:30...but that can easily turn into 6:30 to 5:00 on most days.

8PM-4AM sucks.

[cardinalkarp]

I'm 8:15 to 4:45, and I leave the SECOND the clock on my phone hits 4:45.

That is unless they make us work overtime which is typically 1 hour but can sometimes be 2.

It's been so long since I have had set office hours. I generally am about 8-5, plus or minus an hour or two.

When I'm at the office (unlike right now) I'm usually there 6:30-4:30. Once baseball gets going, I'll be there 6:30-3:00.

My set hours are 5:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but I mix in an hour of working out in there.

I end up on a lot of calls with Europe early in the morning and Asia late at night.

Helish hours but it's a spinoff company implementing entirely new systems, will get better in 09 if I stay.

Not as much as you would think. My natural body clock is fairly flexible and wild swings in sleeping hours or amounts of sleep have never really affected me. It probably helps that I know my sleep cycle intimately, eat well, and exercise a lot. As long as I'm getting 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9 hours of sleep I'm good to go the next day regardless of whether it begins at 6:00am (which it currently does three days a week) or ends at 3:00-5:00am (which it currently does the other four days a week). I'm also quite adept at pulling the all-nighter. A conservative estimate would be that I've pulled slightly more than 500 in the last 10 years, or averaging about one a week over that span. I thought things might change as I aged, but I'm almost 30 now and I still feel like I'm 16.

According to the guy who carded me at the movie theatre a couple of weeks ago, I still look about that age too.

Young punk.

Did I mention I can't surf GRB during work hours now

What were you thinking? You knew better than to take a job like that. You should have Leroy call and straighten this out.

I'm a little eccentric (but you all knew that) about my hours.

I work from 4:30 or 5:00 am to 2:00 pm unless there's
a meeting I need to attend. The lab rats start staggering
in between 6:00 - 9:00 am. The supervisor under me
works a 9 to 5 schedule, so we're covered.

There was a little controversy about it when I first started
working here, but after repeatedly hitting any deadline
thrown at me, everyone quieted down.

Wait... so you requested that?

My dad and my brother have both been working from about 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for as long as I can remember. If I griped about my morning hours, they'd kick me arse.
