We usually dont get a lunch. Just doesnt work good to take one. So work through that.<br /> Its about a 15 min commute. So not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-685064 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:54:02 +0000 LindsayInNY 685064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Our minimum is 2150 - every 100 over is a bonus. We're TTC now and based on how things are going, this will be the only year I'll be able to try and make the bonus. Last year was my first at the firm and took a while to get up to speed. And we hope to get pregnant this/next year. I have to at least get the minimum done to be secure in my job. Honestly, post-LO, I don't see myself lasting more than a year. I love the firm and people I work with/for but the billing just kills me. I'd look to go in-house for better hours, no billables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684945 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:15:58 +0000 winniebee 684945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I used to bill 2000 a year before LO. I cut down to 75% time and now I bill a lot less...and care a lot less ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684870 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:58:19 +0000 hellobeeboston 684870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally work 10-6 or so...</p> <p>My commute in the morning is anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. I drop off LO at 9 and hit the road, get in between 9:45 &amp; 10... Work until 6 - i am the first one to leave (grr) and usually am home by 6:30 (traffic much better on the way home).</p> <p>hoping for a new job soon (3rd interview tomorrow!!) and my hours will be a true 9-5 with an hour lunch - so full time is 35 hours a week! a dream!!! </p> <p>i have to bring home work many nights and most weekends where I am now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684765 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:37:55 +0000 avivoca 684765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I work 9-5 with an hour lunch. Basically, full time for my organization is 35 hours a week, and we're not paid for our hour lunch. It's worth it to have that hour.</p> <p>Also, I do have to work a few hours in the evenings 4-5 times a month. Part of my job is to document our organization's events, and I get comp time for any hours worked over 35. We get 10 sick days each year, and this year I have 11 vacation days (it increases by 1 day per year until you have 20 days).</p> <p>My commute is 15-45 minutes, depending on traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684761 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:37:46 +0000 purrpletulips 684761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work M-F 8-4:30 (with a 30min lunch break) my commute is between 45-60min each way. We are all out the door by 6:45 every morning and DH does pickup from daycare in the evenings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684759 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:37:12 +0000 MrsH 684759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: no LO yet but I'm usually in the office by 7:30 and leave by 5 with a 20 minute commute. Hopefully I'll get to work earlier and leave earlier when we have a LO. I may also try working from home one day a week when we have a LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule/page/2#post-684742 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:34:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 684742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: 2150 to meet hours. Every 100 over is a bonus. And I can take 4 weeks vacation. So 10 gets me pretty close. I'm hoping to go in-house once there's a LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684722 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:31:59 +0000 MrsH 684722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: yikes, my billables are definitely not that high. What are you at like 2400? I would cry or go crazy or both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684604 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:13:40 +0000 LindsayInNY 684604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I know... We're moving later this month and my commute will be a third of that! Made the decision to help me with work hours and eventually a LO. I have to bill roughly 10hrs/ day :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684501 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:43:27 +0000 JoJoGirl 684501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hours now are 7:30am-4:30pm, M-F. We are throwing around me going back to work T-F after LO comes if we can afford it and my employer approves. I have a 25 min commute each way.</p> <p>Our daycare is only open 8:30-5:30 so our plan as of now is to have DH do drop off and me to pick up since he rolls into his office at 9-9:30 each day and gets out closer to 6. His commute is only 15 mins and our daycare is 5 mins from his office and 10 mins from mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684470 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:26:44 +0000 MrsH 684470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: holy cow, you weren't kidding about working a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684427 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:11:27 +0000 Anagram 684427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 8-3, but my commute is an hour or more, so I leave home around 6:45 am and get home about 4-4:15.</p> <p>Next school year, I'll be on Mat leave from September-close to the end of November, then I have Thanksgiving break, 3 weeks of work, then Winter break. So basically, I keep telling myself that I only have to make it through 6 months of work (Jan-June) before I'm quitting and looking for something closer to my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684396 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:03:07 +0000 regberadaisy 684396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M-F, 8:00a - 4:30pm.

I can take the whole day off if I want to and my schedule permits, or sometimes I work a full day, and I come to the office if I need to be there for a meeting.<br /> My schedule is very flexible. On days when I drop LO off and DH does pickup, I tend to drop him off around 8, get to the office around 9, work till 5:30 or so, and then get home at 6:30. On days when I pick up LO, I try to get to the office by 8 (DH drops off) because I have to leave by 4:30. Those are my base hours- I also tend to work from home in the evenings when I need to, or will sometimes get up early to work on something before LO wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-684359 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:51:44 +0000 mediagirl 684359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I finagled a 7:30-4 schedule with a half hour lunch.

Isn't that against the law? You poor thing!!<br /> I'm in hospitality too, but I'm M-F, 9-5:30. 30 minute commute on the bus each way. 30 minute lunch. I work in the catering sales office, but I'm an assistant so I don't have to be there for events at night or on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683710 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:48:31 +0000 winniebee 683710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 8-5 four days a week (no specific lunch, unless you count HB time). Leave the house at 7:15, drop DS off at daycare, get to work by 8. Leave work at 5, get DS at daycare at 5:45 and home at 6. I often work at night and on weekends and on my day "off." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683706 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:46:23 +0000 oahujeni 683706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30am - 5pm Monday through Friday with an hour commute each way.

My commute is about 15 mins, which is excellent. Right now I work 730-330 with no lunch (15 mins, but really...) I'm hoping that I can wrangle a 30 min lunch that I can split into 2 for pumping sessions, but we'll see </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683478 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 06:19:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 683478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i work 8-5:30 and have a 20 min commute each way. looking at a lot of the other responses, i have a really long day but compared to what i used to work, my hours are fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683465 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 06:03:19 +0000 petunia354 683465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back to work on Monday and will be working 8-3. I work for my Dad though so I definitely have felixbility in my schedule that most don't. My commute is about 20 minutes but my Mom will be watching LO so that will add another 20 min to the commute for pick-up and drop off at her house... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683362 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 23:02:41 +0000 keiki_mama 683362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work M-F 6:45 AM till about 3:30 PM-ish.

My company started off being a family friendly company hence the 3 day weekends and when DD starts school I have the option of M-F with earlier hours so I can be home when she gets off school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683274 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:43:03 +0000 beachbee 683274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My schedule is typically 8-4:30, but I create my own schedule so there's some added flexibility.

Typically I am at work around 7:15 or 7:30am, I hardly ever take a lunch, and leave usually around 5:45. The mornings I go to the gym, I'll get in around 8 or 8:15am, which feels late to me. DH is super helpful, otherwise I would never be able to do what I do. Also, the 15 minute commute (30 minutes in the evening) is a huge help. The days I go to Boston I spend 3 hours commuting. Stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-whats-your-work-schedule#post-683070 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:04:19 +0000 rachiecakes 683070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work M-F 7:30-5:30, 10 minute commute, I go home on my lunch hour to watch DS so DH (WAHD) gets to go to the gym/run errands. </p>
