What time do you normally have to be at work?



I have to be there by 7:00am.

So, i have about 30 mins left on FG.

Never earlier than 9am

8am for me, but it's a long commute, so I leave a little after 7.

showoff. :yh_frustr



But I still luv ya.

I have to be at work at 8:30, leave the house right at 8am.

I would love to have Hammy's commute...been wanting that for a long time, just have never been able to get that job!!:(

I don't have to be at work until 11:30 a.m. but I usually get there about 11 because the nightturn girls won't do their jobs so I have to. It takes less than 5 minutes to get there.

I dont. Im off for a few days. Somebody has to go though.

Used to be a 10 second commute down the stairs to work but since we sold that business and moved it now takes about 3/4 minutes. i don't know how I cope with all the travelling:sneaky:



I can get in when I like within reason but I'm usually there by 9am to take deliveries of flowers in.

Leave home at 7.30am to start work at 8am



Leave work at 5pm and get home at 5.30pm....quick cuppa then get to my sons for 5.55pm to mind the baby while mum goes to work.....leave there at 7.30 and then home for FG, TV, reading, housework or PS2.....oh the joys...

I go for 4 am so I have to get up at 3am

I have to be at work by 7:30, but get there at 7. I get up at 5 am.

Traffic must be a Nightmare!:D

Outta bed at 7:20, out of house at 7:45, at work for 8:00.

I am not going to be doing any work for a week! Whoopeee!!!!!!!!!, (sorry don't mean to gloat, I know, I know). The worst hours I did was having to get up at 5 to get this lab started in a petrochemical plant going, how I didn't blow the place up by accident I shall never know! :wah:

Today has been messy clean up, so GallyB I am glad you have not blown anyplace up trust me... no fun.

What was the cause of the explosion minks? Was it a gas leak? There was a chemical leak from a plant in England the other day, fortunatly I don't think anyone was killed. It was always something I was quite mindful of I must say, as our facility processed about 250,000 gallons of very, very flammable liquid a week, so it was essentially like working on top a small nuclear warhead, (which I always tried to impress upon the fellas working there). I have seen some small explosions in the lab (as its generally inevitable that they will happen, as with the odd acid burn, toxic spill, etc etc, they are not safe environments and you always need to be very respectful of that.

A whole week of lie - ins and watching the crap on daytime TV if you want to!! How I envy you. *sigh* Oh well, only another four weeks and I can do the same too!:wah:


I will try and avoid the Richard and Judy show if I can pinky! :wah: I promise I will be a good boy and be as productive as possible with my time, and of course also swan about a bit, as I am usually up to me eyes. So, you have holidays in 4 weeks, that is cool, one of the perks of teaching, though you need them after teaching someone elses kids for any length of time!

Pinky;510564 wrote: Too true!!! Although they constantly amaze you and make you laugh too..I had an incident today that I can't post here, but I told Hammy about on the phone. Once someone started laughing, that was it, lesson over!:D

Richard and Judy isn't so bad, it reminds me why I like going to work!


After having the experience of teaching secondary students, I can only imagine! :wah:

Pinky;510578 wrote: MMmm. There are days when I really dread going in, but days that I'm glad I did! Such as when one year ten yelled out to the rest of the class that Miss Havisham lives in Satan's house!!! (Satis House). :wah:


Yes, they always have that ability to delight and drive mad in equal measure, don't they? You gotta keep your cool though, and not laugh, or get into their level or your finished, like you said. What I found really tiring is that you can never really let your concentration slip when you are talking to them, its easy to forget that they are just kids sometimes, especially nowadays when they think they are so "knowing" about the adult world. Its a tough job, but an important and rewarding one, teachers should get paid more I think.

My time does vary a bit but I usually get up at 2.30 AM, leave the house at 3.AM. Than I have a 3.00 hour sail to the fishing grounds.

Glad to see Tater Taz and Fisher get up early too! I get up at 3 am, leave at 4, and arrive at work at 5 (37 mile commute). WendyBird, I envy you your 3 minute trip!!. And Hamster, sheesh! If I worked at home I'd probably not get anything done!

That is some serious getting up early, in fact you get up earlier than I often go to bed, which is not a great reflection on me. Still, I does me best.

Lithium batteries, our pack had a short, and it blew one of the cells, the entire shop and surrounging shops and ones upstairs filled with nasty smoke.... fortunately only smoke, and no fire. No one hurt.

Yes it can get quite scary at times. Not that much for me as for our family members. They tend to worry allot when the weather is bad.

I got up at 10 am today and have so far done absolutely nothing!

Sorry all you busy bees, but this week is lazy week. :wah:

Now I don't feel quite so bad. Jeez, I almost felt guilty there for a second.

Working from the Flat, waiting for a delivery (actually, it arrived but they missed half the order and had to go back for it).

I've been working since 07:30 with the odd break to look into the Garden.
