    I work 42 - 45 hours per week. I would love to work only 3 days and have a 4 day weekend each week, there are so many other things I enjoy doing besides being work. I have seem the effects long work hours with to much stress can have on someone I used to be close to and its not pretty. There needs to be a balance.

    Working 100 hours does not leave much time to play, with 168 hours per week avalible, that means you have 68 hours left per week to fit in the rest of your life, 9.71 hours per day including Saturday and Sunday to have some fun, get some excercise, have at least one good meal, do chores, bond with those humans that are important to you, relax and unwind and get a good nights sleep. Guess it all depands on priorities and which activities you want to compromise on.

    I do 40 at my full-time job and then as many as are required for my second job as your local, friendly Avon lady (ding dong! LOL).

    Normally around 55 a week in total, but about to ramp that up as I try to build the Avon up to help us out while I'm off on maternity leave.

    Anyone need an Avon supplier??? LOL

    37.5, at least an hour for lunch, come and go whatever hours I please, life, health, surgical, income protection insurance, 4 weeks a year leave... you cats are crazy working 60+ hours a week!!!! I get a salary, so leaving early to ride, or turning up late hung over, doesn't dock my pay. I've had to work late twice, or maybe three times in the last 18 months.

    My goodness veiwing the poll results. Over 50% are in the 41-60
    hour per week catagory.

    Are the high hours to pay for our bike addictions perhaps...?

    Hey, I'm in the 40 to 60 hr week bracket. Basically factory work. Did 10 years self employed (Orchardist). Wouldn't do it again, Leave work l forget about it, the moment I see my relief. Have more time for my toys might pay more in Tax as can't write income off against expenditure, anymore And the endless compliance BS and watching the TV only for the weather forecast. But Acc is more as a wage earner no stress except monotonus boredom. I've got betta toys now and have 6 weeks paid leave a year (Shift worker) am able to go to almost any rally anywhere in the country as I please. Ambition only pays those at the top end of a bell curve. Oh Did I mention company super and mortgage free. Just checking ferry sailings f..k cheap sailings gone for the March Hare. Bit of O/T should cover it aye! .

    I look at it as assisting in pest control less to attract them.

    I work on average 50 hours a week...... so that was my vote....

    i'll also put in Bruce's... he worked around 40 hours at SDV.... then another average of 38-40 at hell.... somewhere he managed to fi in track days, rides, helping fix other people's bikes... and spending time with me.... but then, I dont think he ever slept... the 2 hours i'd sleep from him getting home from Hell and getting up to drive to taupo for the day he would lie awake thinking about stuff.....

    I try to get home around 3pm, feel a little bit hard done by if its much later. Never work weekends, made that choice 5 years ago, love the weekends, not many go by when Anne and i aren't doing something, more often than not the Bike is with us. Why work hard when you can work sensibly and enjoy life.....
