One job is a minimum of 48 hours a week (but that has increased to around 84 ... then add travel time).
Then I have my second (part time courier) job that can be from 0-48 hours a week ... depends how busy I have been with my first job. Usually I do not know what day it is as weeks flow-on from each other and weekends are just normal workdays to me ... well ... depends if i do nightshift as well ... as I work many of those on a rotational day/night basis. Most I have worked in a week that I can remember is around 96 hours.

Probably 50 hours a week on average at the moment. 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. Plus two hours travelling to and from.
Then there's the 3 kids! Do they count as work? LOL

Do you mean work or the actual hours I am there?
All jokes aside I am in the 90 hour range. I do try to get time off (for good behaviour) but tend to have a freekish sort of schedule.

12-14 hours a day plus just under 2 hours travel. Very rarely take a lunch break.
Hope to reduce the hours a bit in 2007 so I can concentrate more on getting into some circuit racing (club events) and remind the hubby what I look like!!  : In a salary job so only obliged to work 8 hours a day (and no, I don't get paid for the overtime as it's all voluntary/part of the job). Now that I'm writing this I think I am starting to understand why hubby is always so annoyed and tells me I'm an workaholic idiot!! :togo:

I do 10-14 hours a day, weekends only. I get 150$ a day, so I do not complain. I do Ikea delievery in association with kings. 300$ a week for a 17 year old high school student is tonnes. To a larger scale, the money I make is like... umm... the rich dude across the road!
