What are your ideal hours for working?

[Syringer]

I'm considering a position with hours from 12pm-9pm. Now I'm not exactly a morning person so the noon start is great.. but I'm not sure how I'd feel about not being able to be home until almost 10pm every night..

if the cost of sleeping in is loosing ALL of my free time.... no thanks.

I do a 10-7 stint at school/work, and sometimes I don't get home till 8 or later, and it kinda feels like all thats left for me to do is go to sleep. Plus most people are winding down their days when I get back. I guess it depends on what kind of shifts your friends / family work.

My ideal work hours: 8 am - 7 pm M-Th. Three day weekend, every weekend. I don't work those hours, but I wish I did. Then, I'd still have plenty of time in the evenings for fun activities that require businesses to be open.

I work mornings sunday-wednesday and thursday-saturday I work nights

edit:

to be more specific as to what I actually work, and these are the hours i chose:

sunday-wednesday: 10:30am-4pm
thursday: 4:30p-11p
friday-saturday: 4:30p-1am

i'd say 12p -1p..you know during mylunch break. That way there is no work!

For me it would be something like 9:30-5:30 or 6. Late enough start for me to sleep in a little, late enough end to miss the worst part of rush hour, but early enough so I don't feel my evening is gone.

 

[Syringer]

Does anyone get off after 8-9pm? Is it just depressing to come home after the world is pretty much done?

I like my 6am to 330pm shift. I used to work a 1030am to 630pm that wasn't too bad. It wasn't too late and I could take a class before work.

That's pretty much what my hours are.

In college, I did a whole semester working 8-5 with an hour lunch, class 5:45-10:00, weight and cardio training from 1030 to midnight, dinner at 12:30, homework until 2 or 3 and then I woke up at 7 again in the morning. That was awesome until I started passing out (5 months into it)

Thats mine too...occasionally i'll work 8-5 to take a half day on friday

 

[Turin39789]

just curious, where are you guys still getting your lunches paid?

I liked my 2100-0730 shift at my last job. I'd come home around 9, sleep from 10 or 11 till around 4, then wakeup, do stuff for a while, and go to work. My free time was friday to sunday.

Now, I'm working 1730 to 2300, and I like it OK, except I seem to be waking up at 630-7am after going to bed around midnight (have to wait up for my woots!). I've got wednesdays and sundays off for the next few weeks, and I have to come in on Sat at 1030 to 4, now THAT really annoys me :|

I think the topic question should have said "What are your ideal minutes for working." I mean who would ever want to work for hours on end. I think minutes on end is the best way to look at work.

 

[thegimp03]

I work best in the morning, but not too early. Maybe between 8:30 and 11 am. After lunchtime I have a hard time concentrating because I'm sleepy and start watching the clock too much.

 

[parker0522]

I think i work best in the morning also, but after lunch I just dick around on AT til it's time to go home.

 

[mercanucaribe]

9-2 would be great ...

By the way, is a 40 hour work week supposed to include an hour lunch every day? Around here, a lot of people spend the 40 hours actually working, staying longer to make up for lunch, etc. I'm an intern but I'm here from 8-4:30 with a 30 min lunch.
