Would you rather work -

07:00 - 15:00
08:00 - 16:00
09:00 - 17:00
10:00 - 18:00
11:00 - 19:00

I started working on 10 - 6 and liked the lie-ins but was offered 9 - 5. I now do 9 -5 but have the opportunity to do 8 - 4. I do like finishing early but go to the gym late and once a week try and do something like go out for a meal, pub etc

Maybe a poll for this would be better
 
Ugh! Dont get me started on this topic. My work recently changed my shift pattern from a 4 week rotation to a 6 week rotation and I got random shifts all over the place. Some dayshift, some backshift, some 11 hour shifts, a few 4 hour shifts, some 8 hours, some 8 and a half! Its hell!

8.00 to 16.30, Monday to Friday would be my idea of heaven right now.
 
I do close to that. I have 8:30 - 5 mon - fri. It is pretty good, means I don't have to get up super early to go for a ride at the gym and I still finish at a reasonable time.
 
techinically I do 9.00 to 5.30, in reality I do anything but :p I can certainly see the appeal in 10-6 though as well as missing a large proportion of the traffic I suspect?
 
6am till 1.30 here :)

Whole afternoon off :D

We work a strange 3 week rota.

5 on, 1 off

5 on 1 off

5 on 4 off! (FSSM)

Added with my 39 days holiday i could have 13 full weeks off! (4 days off + 3 hols)

I currently work 8am-4:30 monday-thursday, 8-4 friday.

Means I still have quite a long evening and dont hit rush hour traffic. Did like the 6am-3pm i did at my previous job though.
 
would love to work constant 6am-2pm hours.

Im up early enough so it wouldnt impact me anyways, nice early afternoon finish....ideal.
 
I think my favourite shift ever was 6am to 10am when I was working part time at Sainsbury's. Set up the counters and be out before the mad rush. Good times.

Now working 9 to 5. Don't mind it as it leaves my evening free and I have weekends off so can't complain.
 
I work away Monday, from home Tuesday, then away Wed to Fri. I'm up and down the country so I stop in hotels during the week. Usually finish about 2-3 ish on Fridays.

It's good hours if you can get away with being away from home most of the week.
 
I work from 8-4 Monday to Friday but I wouldn't mind working from 6-2 in the summer and 9-5 in the winter.

But I'm fairly happy with how I have it now...could be worse.
 
Have the choice of 8-4/9-5/10-6

Tends to be the latter as I do like a lie in after months of 8-4 :)

It is nice finishing at 4 and the day feels like it goes in quicker.. strangely.
 
Mon-Thurs: 7AM - 4PM
Fri: 7AM - 3PM (don't stop for lunch)

Makes a 42 hour week. 42.5 if I don't stop for lunch on a Monday too as were busiest then.

I miss the mad rush on the roads and also get to the gym before all the clowns arrive.
