Who seriously works 9-5?

[Push R Truth]

My whole life I've heard about working 9-5 and how that's the norm. Well, I came to a shocking realization today:

I don't know a single person that works 9-5... and nobody in my entire office knows a single person either.



Just a random thought.

[AriadosMan]

Alot of the ones that still have jobs had their hours cut.

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

Hell, I'm amazed people even HAVE jobs. I've been unemployed for about 2 months now.

[deadmanlfc]

Near enough here, mon-fri 10am to 6pm.

['Foretold' Joker]

I work 8-30 - 5, so thats pretty close.

See, this is an unfunny line I see tossed around a lot.


You want to know the truth?


They are there an hour before they open and an hour after they close.

Blame the Fed for Banker's Hours, not the Banker.

I would seriously give my left nut to have those kinds of hours. I have been working the overnight shift for the past two and a half years. It is so incredibly difficult to have any sort of social life having that kind of schedule.

And I think my body is starting to realize that. For the past six to eight weeks. I have had trouble sleeping during the day, when I come home from work and therefore I have a hard time functioning at work that night.

But the thing is working overnight is the only way that I am guaranteed to get a full forty hours a week.

I work from 7-6 right now. Usually its 7:30-5 though.

I'm just thankful to be given the opportunity to work OT these days.

[wrestlesmarks]

7:00 to 3:30 for me.

[Dragonfly]

My fiancee works 8:30 to 5:30. As for me, well... I telecommute. It doesn't matter when I get it all done, just as long as it's "in the can" by 7:50 the next day. Because of this, my working day usually ends up looking like this:

Monday: Thursday: Noon to 3; 11 to 3 AM.
Friday: Noon to whenever I get bored.
Sunday: 11 to 3 AM.

Question, how would you get into telecommuting?

[Back to being Cenanuff]

I'm a 9 to 5er. And I work for a bank.

Nice to meet you.
Now you know someone that works 9-5.
What way to make a livin'.
But I hate my job, so it is what it is.

[Red Impact]

I work 9 - 6 on my day shifts, which is pretty close.

[Deleted]

My schedule over most of the year is 6 to 2, though in the dead of the summer I usually go in an hour earlier and leave an hour earlier.
