I am planning to drop down to 30-32 as of September and am so excited for the chance to have more balance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/3#post-1719953 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:25:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 1719953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm freelancing currently &amp; I work about 12 hours per week or so. I am hopefully getting a new freelance gig soon &amp; then it will be 18-20 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1719557 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:37:49 +0000 littleveesmommy 1719557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 38 hour weeks M-Th so they are long days but I love having Fridays off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1719527 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:27:47 +0000 NCSUchick27 1719527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 40, but when we are in the middle of quarter-close it can be closer to 50-60. I work in corporate accounting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1719512 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:21:31 +0000 Silva 1719512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sparkler: I hope I like it, too!

I work for the state, and don't work overtime or anything....I will be yelled at if I'm still at my desk after 5pm on the dot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1719407 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:08:26 +0000 Rocker2014 1719407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>45ish hours per week "at work", but I'm pretty much on call all the time so I'm constantly checking my blackberry for messages regardless of where I am or what I'm doing. So that's many more hours per week that I'm managing things from wherever I happen to be.<br /> Maternity leave should be interesting...for them! I'm not checking it then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1718970 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:11:37 +0000 Boheme 1718970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32-36 hours a week, and I only work 4 days. Its a pretty sweet deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1718969 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:11:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1718969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, other...</p> <p>When I teach, I'm in the classroom about 5 hours a week, plus 2 hours of office hours, plus grading and prep time. But, I am also being paid to go to school and write. Some weeks, I could do that 20 hours, some it could be much, much more. This year, I'm reading for my exams, so at least 8 hours a day. The good news is that I don't have to be in an office to do it. The bad news is that means there is always more I can-and should- be doing :bummed:</p> <p>But tomorrow, I start summer work, and that is a much more straightforward 42.5 hours a week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1718933 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:03:17 +0000 MrsB2012 1718933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because I work a rotation. I work 10.5 hour split shift days ( ugh.) But, I work 5 on 5 off 4 on 4 off. So it's different all the time. ( that is, that's what I will be working when I go back next month. ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-per-week-do-you-work/page/2#post-1718921 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:59:17 +0000 Purpledaisy 1718921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25.

Yikes! </p> <p>Now I only work 40-45 hours a week.

(Dh works weekends too.) I think 2 days per week would be great for me and still good for our family. 5 days a week was a lot with dh's schedule (although that's not actually why I didn't stick it out.) Hard to find that schedule though! </p> <p>@jedeve: go you!
