I only work 80% so 32 hours and from home 95% of the time. I usually am at my desk by 9am and leave for daycare pick up at 4pm. I’ll have some type of lunch or laundry or whatever break in there everyday.
In the 30-60 minutes between DH leaving with the kids (he does drop off) and my start to work I clean the breakfast table and tackle laundry or tidy up some.

I'm a FT student, but I also have two per diem outpatient health care jobs. I generally work
3 Tuesdays/mo 9:40a - 5:10p (no break); 1 Tuesday/mo call-in meeting 9a - 12:30p
2 Wednesdays/mo 8a - 3:30p (no break)
Every Thursday 9:30a - 5:20p (30m unpaid lunch)
1-2 Fridays/mo 10a - 5:20p (30m unpaid lunch)
1-2 Saturdays/mo 9:00a - 6p (30m unpaid lunch).
My partner is always asking...So, when are you working this week? Where?

Teacher so 7:30-2:40 (I know....). "30 minute lunch" ha. Ha. 5 minutes scarfing leftovers while I chat with students. 25 min commute each way.

@Ajsmommy: Usually 8-4 so I can go pick up my DS from daycare but then again after his bedtime and part of most Sundays (lawyer).

It's hard to say. Just started work at a new place and hours are a little crazy. My goal is to try and get over 25 hours a week.

Oh my gosh, some of you have looooong days. And if you have a long commute too, I don‘t know how you do it. We have a 37.5 hr work week, so I work 8-4 with 1 hr lunch.

8am to a little before 6pm. I work through my lunch. my "lunch hour" is now split into 3 smaller segments to allow for my pumping.
ETA: I only work 4 days a week.

9-5 (strict, no flexibility) with an hour for lunch that I use to workout or do kids errands/doctors appointments.

7:30a-3:30p during the school year (makes for a MUCH better commute time and don't have to put the kiddos to bed as soon as I get home) and closer to 8a-4p in the summer. The only issue is that so many other people work closer to 9a-5p and schedule late meetings. I try to be strict about leaving by 4, but occasionally I have to make an exception.

I’m jealous of everyone’s regular work hours with real lunch! On the days I work, I’m there 8a-7p with no real lunch break. I’ll eat bites of food between patients. I only get paid to work 24 hours per week but actually work around 30.
My DH works 8-6p (no lunch) with additional work time after the kids are in bed. This feels luxurious bc he used to work closer to 65 hours per week

I’m a teacher and my hours according to my contract are 7:30-2:30. We are required to stay to 4 twice a month and we must give extra help until 3 once a week.

I'm a physician in the Emergency Department, so my shifts are all over the place. Usually work ~34 hours per week, but shifts might be:
7am-5pm
9am-7pm
Noon-10pm
5pm-3am
10pm-8am
I work some of each of these times in a given month. Makes doing anything scheduled difficult (like that Monday evening pottery class I've been eyeing up for 4 years), but the money is good, and nothing really spills over into my days off.
DH is in the same boat as we have the same job.

8:30-6... or thereabouts. I run a satellite office so no one’s looking over my shoulder. But I’m salaried and no one at my level works only 40 hours/week. More like 50 hours/week on average and more during crunch weeks. I would really like to figure out how to leave at 5 or even 5:30, without having to fire up the laptop after dinner. That’s usually why I stay until 6.

@pachamama: Low man on the totem pole right now, so I get put into the fill-in shifts. In 5-10 years, I'll probably work either all days or all nights.

@yellowbeach: Yowza! keeps it interesting tho! My days are short, I feel guilty. My husband always says, "You basically have a part time job". But for the first 10 years of teaching, I was coming in sooo early and staying really late and doing all sorts of activities and clubs. My focus now is my family so when that bell rings at 2:40 SEE YA
