r45 4 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 How many hours do you "work" in a day? I don't know if this one has been done, but I'm interested to see if I'm a "hard worker" or not. (Not time has nothing to do with effectiveness...of course) Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 On average, 9-6, 1 hour break = 8 hrs Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yeah but do you actually work hard during those 8 hours or slack off?? i usually take at least an hour or 2 a day just for sj and email. if dont have many classes or prep work to do, i can spend up to 6 hrs a day slacking off. man, my job is easy. but sooo boring!

crazyski 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 ah, ALT blues, eh Nekobi?!? I'm almost positive I never do more than 4 hours a work a day, and its usually less than that... Ah, Japanese bureaucracy... Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 about 5-6 hours is the max I can give to full-on, really intense work (eg programming, design, etc). any more, and I'm burnt out for the day. During a usual day, have a mixture of 3 fairly intense hours, with the rest of the time more relaxed or slacking off.. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 10-12 hours a day and about 4 of those are mucking about on SJ or Mistersparkle's new blog. I have to stop it as it is getting really bad. I work with science geeks who really have NO life except their job, and they think I am lazy and a little bit crazy for going out drinking on the weekend, doing things, having fun, and not just accepting the mundune existence that makes up their lives. And the worst thing is that most of them are just working long hours for appearences sake. All they talk about is their work. VERY sad speciens. I really can't understand how these people function like this for their whole working lives. The look of shock that came across their faces when I said I was taking two weeks off to go to Thailand over Christmas! It would not compute. Thank goodness about four of my workmates are really nice, really cool people. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 When I'm busy... I work all-out 10 hour days, but I'm only busy in short spans of time (bout 2-3 weeks at a time). My normal level of productivity finds me at about 1 to 2 hours of actual work in an 8 hour span of time. The rest is swallowed up by instant messaging, forums, and my new super-efficient time-killer: blogging . Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 My work doesn't seem to end. Get home and the PC is on, do things. Quite sad really. Link to post Share on other sites

Roger's head 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I have periods of being a really hard worker, then wasting tons of time. My work day is 9 - 5 though, officially, usually more than that. Link to post Share on other sites

TheOrange 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I got into trouble once for webbing too much. I am just more sneaky about it now. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Between 4-8 hours of actual teaching time per day 5 or 6 days a week. Preperation/administration time varies widely depending on factors such as exams/tests, the start or end of a contract and the changing needs of the students. I'm a lazy bum by nature so having finished at 10:00 this morning and not having to head out again until 5:30 suits me rather nicely. I do hate coming home from a busy day and having to prepare for an early moring class. It's a little too worklike for me. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 In a 40 hour week 16 hours or teaching 1-4 hours of maybe prepwork 20 hours of surfing rest is eating and going to the bathroom. Oh and I have to supervise some girls cleaning stairs for 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
