      Hi chucknorrisforthewin,

      I work seven days (or evenings) in a row, then have three rest days. I take on-call overnight for 17 out of those 21 days. So that is roughly equal to working four five-day weeks, with four week ends.

      Mark.

      Hello chucknorrisforthewin,

      The general rule is 5! But it depends, if im on fieldwork then I’ll work as many days as possible. I did a few 6 week fieldtrips to South Africa a few years ago.. we had a few days off but it was pretty relentless!

      Normally it is the usual 9-5pm, with the odd hour or two in the evenings to get some jobs done, like answering this quesiton in fact!

      Hope that was useful.

      Hi Chuck

      Normally from Monday to Friday but sometimes I do work in the evenings (like now . it’s 7:30 pm and I’m about to head home) and sometimes at the week ends. I can also work away from home if I’m speaking at a meeting or conference or delivering training.

      Hi

      I work minimum 5 days a week, ~12 hours a day. I also work any time I can at the weekends, when I am not coaching acrobatics or spending the weekend with family and friends. It averages out at 60-70 hours a week. So its a good thing I enjoy what I do!
