  well we use to have the 10-10:30 rule. Now it kind of fucks up my morning schedule. Because the trains suck around me and they are totally crowed unlike before when i left at 9:30.

  • i guess it's time to grow up– sputnik2

  digdre > No it is not. Say i work till 3am. very typical. The iron fist tells me i have to be there at 9.

  • if you are working until 3am a lot then you are doing it wrong.– skt1/4

    i am doing fine. You know how it works. Things need to get done. it is like a once a month think. And 3 is a bit extreme. 11-12 normal– rson2/4

    Well I think you should talk to your boss and say if you work till three you get to come in later the next day. Seems fair to me.– ian3/4

    bollocks, if it can't be done in office hours it should wait or the project manager needs a kick– jamble4/4

  Well I think if you're really not happy, and frankly I wouldn't be if I was working till 3am most days, then maybe its time to start looking for a place that doesn't feel like a sweatshop.

  I know that if I were working all hours and getting that kind of sleep then I wouldn't be able to string a sentence together, let alone a coherent design solution for a client.

  • Sorry it is morning. I do not work a sweatshop. Like normal places we 11-12 ers once a month. Its just the rules that get to me– rson1/3

    Well I think you should talk to your boss and say if you work till three you get to come in later the next day…– ian2/3

    should be a bit of give and take in it, you know? Talk to your boss, its a reasonable request.– ian3/3

  I like to do 10 till 6 when i full time.
  Most companies want to 'normalize' hours though.
  Bastards.

  • When i freelance i usually do 12 till 1am.– YAYPaul1/4

    YESSS! I thought that was the unspoken.– rson2/4

    that must fuck with your life unduly though, even pro writers get up at 8 and work 9 to 5– kelpie3/4

    Well i'm sure it'll change now i'm living with a lady. But when i was single it suited my nocturnal nature :)– YAYPaul4/4

• kelpie

  well this is the thing; if your clients all start at 9 and finish at 5 (the lucky bastards) then sure as shit they will be on the phone at five past nine wanting something, makes sense to keep the same hours from that perspective

  • yes and no. I will be there till 7 while they are send their changes at 5 that need to be done that sec.– rson1/3

    mate I'm frequently in till 10, till 12, and occasionally over night. It sucks but what I posted is the thinking behind it. Time to chat to bossman– kelpie2/3

    to your boss about flexibility when you're in super late– kelpie3/3

• TheBlueOne

  see I like working 7am - 3pm....and I do exactly that most days...

  • doesn't that mean getting up at like 4am and being asleep by 10pm?– YAYPaul1/7

    That's how my g/f likes to work. I like the night too much for that.– YAYPaul2/7

    This isn't bad. I just have to get up earlier :/– Jaline3/7

    Get up at 5am...take a nap late afternoon and then do more work from like 9-1am usually..I hate afternoons.– TheBlueOne4/7

    I do like leaving work early, even though my co-workers may be weirded out. I used to. Had to get up around 5:30am.– Jaline5/7

    Also, I absolutely hate sleeping or napping at any time other than bed time at night.– Jaline6/7

    I'm with you on the napping Jaline. My g/f loves to nap. If i nap i'm screwed for the rest of the day.– YAYPaul7/7

• YAYPaul

  Actually last place i worked full time the hours were 9 till 5.30. But if you left before 6.30 you used to get weird looks, even on slow days.

  I never did understand why they didn't just say '9 till 6'.

  bah now i'm rambling. Time to go pack a case.

  • < this is more or less the norm at mine, unless its mental (70%) then we're all in till whenever– kelpie1/2

    Yeah i'll work till a what i'm doing is done etc. But if i got shit all to do i don't want looks for leaving on time! :)– YAYPaul2/2

• Jaline

  I do 9:30 am - 5:00 pm most days. Lately I have been leaving at 4:30 pm because my boss has been away, and no one notices me (I rarely speak to any of my co-workers but I can hear everything they talk about with everyone else since my office is next door). I don't have a huge flow of work at the moment though. It comes in bursts. I just organize the work so that it is spread out throughout the week.

  • yeah but you are from America jr– rson1/7

    I'm a developer. Does that make a difference? :P– Jaline2/7

    j/k, doesn't quite work like that. There are days where I spend hours working on one piece of code that is not working correctly.– Jaline3/7

    errr canada..?– Dancer4/7

    yeah, I don't get it either, Dancer.– Jaline5/7

    i think he meant america junior...– paraselene6/7

    Sorry.. it was a a simpsons quote by homer.– rson7/7
