What's your work schedule?

    I'm a teacher so my paid hours/schedule is fantastic for when I have kids: 8-3...
    ...but I spend many unpaid hours after work and over the weekend preparing for lessons and grading work. I suppose I will need to learn how to manage that more once LO gets here.

    845-445, 4 days a week currently, but i just got a new job where there are less hours, but 2 nights a week. I have a lot more flexibility with the new job though, so it's definitely worth it, especially when LO starts school!

    I'm a HS teacher...first period bell rings at 7am. I live 35 min away so with daycare drop off, we leave the house at 5:45. Really hoping to get into a closer school next school year.

    @Mrs. Taco: we live one mile from DH's school (post-secondary) and as convenient as it is, we constantly run into his students everywhere we go! A little distance might not be so bad

    @Mrs. Pen: Yes! We live in the same town where I work and DH teaches in the next town over (very small towns). We see kids alllll the time. We never go out to eat or to the store without seeing at least one of our students/coworkers.

    8-4, M-F. Sometime it varies to 830-430 or 9-5, but I try to keep it at 8-4 whenever I can. In the summer I sometimes do the later schedule so I can get in a long walk before work.

    I am a high school Ag teacher and FFA advisor. My required hours are 7:15-3:15, but I usually go in and hour early or stay an hour late. Just like all the other teachers I grade and lesson plan in the evening and over the weekend (that's what I'm supposed to be doing now ). I also have quite a few FFA commitments, including checking on kids projects over the summers, the 5 fairs my kids can show livestock at, contest practices, fundraisers and chapter and alumni meetings. We just had our public speaking contests so on Wednesdays I was there until about 7, because the kids would trickle in when their respective practice was over. In addition to the 2 fairs that require overnight travel we also go to our state convention the first 4 days of spring break, a weekend leadership camp in October and and about a full week at National Convention every other October.

    My single biggest fear about having kids is how I will still have time for it all, because I absolutely love my job and the relationships that I am able to build with my students, their families and our community!

    @MamaMagpie: @Jessiebear: Those phone calls can make a day off really feel like a day on, even when they are short! My FFA students and their parents have my cell phone number, in case they have a livestock emergency, etc. I rarely go a weekend without a phone call, or 10, so I feel your pain!

    My schedule is 8:30-5:30 with an hour lunch break, Mon-Fri. Minimal OT at home and boss is very flexible if I have to come in late/leave early!

    Right now it is going to be here and there, whenever I feel up to it. After the baby comes I think I will try to work M 7p-7a and Th 7p-7a. That way I can still be a stay at home mom and also feel like I am contributing to the family.
