      I work from about 8.30am to 5pm, but this varies depending on how busy I am.

      I work from 8:30am until about 5:30pm – but it’s not unusual to bring some work home. It doesn’t always feel like work though – parts of my job are more like a hobby 🙂

      I work from 9.30 to 5.30 plus an extra half hour in the evening most days when I’m in the office. When I’m going to meetings or site it can be longer taking into account travel time. In fact, meetings or site visits often take less time than the journey to get there one-way. The worst was when I went from Bristol to Broadstairs and back in a day as the trains were delayed by 2 hours on the way back. If I’m really busy, I may do an extra hour or two (or more!) to finish the task. Lastest I’ve stayed up working was 2am.

      It is variable. I work a minimum of 8 hours a day and sometimes 12 hours a day. It is best not to work much more than 8 hours a day as tiredness kicks in and productivity falls. It is best to work smartly rather than hard for long periods of time.

      I work for around 9 hours a day! Usually arrive sometime between 7.30 and leave about 5.45 – mainly because this means I miss all the traffic and I dont have to sit about in traffic jams!

      The longer day’s are great, because it means I get every second Friday off! So tomorrow is my day off, hopefully the weather is better than today! 🙂
