I'm late to work almost everyday. I work at a mortgage company (but I'm a designer) and everyone there hates the fact that I don't absolutely have to be there at 8AM when they do. That justmakes me laugh. I show up late everyday, so on the rare occasions that I do get there before 9AM people are freaked out. That's not going to happen today though. It's 9:11AM an I'm at home as I write this... HAHA!

Sounds like you have a secure position.
Are you always late to everything? Or just work?
I'm just curious

I arrive at work everyday at 8:57am
I leave for lunch at 11:45am
I return from lunch at 12:50pmI leave for the day at 4:57pm
Everyday, like clockwork.

I am irregular sometimes late sometimes on time sometimes early, I leave early sometimes and I work late at times, my lunch is a mish mash, I have no routine whatsoever and it really pisses me off cause no matter how hard I try I cannot do the same thing three days in a row!

If I take an hour for lunch I have to work an extra hour.
Stupid?
Yes.. Very.

I'd take the hour Jevad...
It's quite a nice siesta to break up the day.

yeah...means I have to work 8.30 - 5.30 though...plus the 1/2 commute each way....stinky. Plus there's nothing in teh immediate area to do - so it's a 10 min drive to the shops and stuff....

and Bomy, I live 10 minutes walk from work, so I go home for lunch everyday for 40 minutes.
I have engineered these hours over 5 years of working here.

it's taking me an hour almost to get to work these days, the fuckin traffic is go awful. going home is about 40 minutes.
i wish i were teleported to work, ala jeff goldblum, sans the fly.

One factor in my hours is that I work for a newspaper and magazine, not an agency.

Interesting responses. I wish I lived close to my job. Actually, no I don't. I wish my job was closer to where I live. I have that same long drive to and from work. 45 each way each day if I attempt the 8AM in and the 5PM out deal. So I either have to leave for work at 7AM or 9AM and go home at 4PM or 6PM to cut that commute down to 30 min's each way. Got to work at 10AM today. Had to stop and put some oil in the ol' 95 Cherokee, then of course Del Taco was across the street...

10:30 - 6:30 with flexi time..as long as you work 8 hours a day..minus an hour for lunch...
pretty relaxed....

as long as i get my work done, i can in and out. like today, i came in at 10, leaving at 4:30. not that it matters to my employer at all, but i still put in about 20 hours a week in freelance after work. but that's while having a beer and sitting in my pj's :-)

most of us here take lunch at 12 (meaning go skate and get high) and don't come back for a couple hours.
but then some of us stay at the studio all night sometimes...
