Default What's your working week like?
Orthodox 9 to 5, freelance or what?

Five days a week, 45 weekly hours, often more than this. But highly rewarding...

I work part time and freelance

Part time 21 hours a week, (I split it over 4 days so work mornings)
Freelance varies but mainly about a day a week

Was very long hours for a while there 5am til 7 or 8pm some days but im back to part time now and going to be spending more time working from home freelancing again.

Also the weekends are a no no for me, life is for living not slaving at work on a weekend

8:00-6:00 which is rough but only 4 days a week.

Me & my boss discussed these hours together a while ago. While part-time when I had classes, he was ok with me coming in like 3:00-9:00 etc. some days and locking the place up myself after I left, even though most of the time I was there after 5:00 the office was empty with just me (he does like to have someone else around in the office for when he works late hours though) But my boss just recently, literally earlier this week, said he's thinking about me coming in 5 days now at a regular 9-5 or 10-6 type of shift so it might change very soon.

I work freelance which means you can go to work in your PJs and spend half the day procrastinating. On the down side you can end up working longer hours and into the weekend to finish projects.
