What time do you start work ?

[Lissa]

I work 8-4.30.

Pete works shifts, one week 6-2, the following week 2-10.

If he's on earlies I get up at 6 and leave for the walk to work at 7.15. If he's on lates I get up at 6.30 and he gets up to give me a lift to work.

What time I get into the office and what time I start work don't always match up
Sadly it works the other way round too with going home

Technically 10am to 6pm but often get molested as soon as I get into the office about 9ish (not in a good way), then I'm on call 2 weeks out of 3

[dirtydog]

I start whenever I feel like it really, today for instance I did 10am-1.30

My job is the standard 9am - 5pm

But in my previous job it was 8.30 - 4.30pm. I prefered starting early and finishing early. We also had flexitime so on some days I could essentially 'choose' my hours as longas I got the work done and let my boss know. Unfortuantely I dont have that luxury anymore but I am happier in my new job so I guess it balances out

If you are getting up at 5am to get to work for 7am.. how far do you travel to work each day ?

Your solution might well be to get a job closer to home if you a travelling along way everyday...

I Use the bike allyear round as my only form of transport.(not at the moment as i am still injured and Waiting for the bike to be fixed but this is my normal routine)
its only a 25-30 minute commute.But it goes somthing like this
get up at 5am then get a shower .... have a brew and just try to wake my brain up i then get ready into my work clothes and then put all my bike gear on.
i then go down into the garage and unlock the bike... move her car out the way .... move the bike out ...then put the car back.....
i get to work for around 6.45 lock the bike up and go and get changed out of all my bike gear .... make a coffe and go up into my office by this time its 6.55-7ish......

so its not so much the traveling its all what happens before and after that takes the most time.
