100-ish. The joys of running your own business juuuuust successful enough to keep you busy all day every day and still leave you ten steps behind, but not quite enough to overcome being too cheap to hire anyone, or to overcome inability to trust anyone to do anything right if hired, because holy **** are people ever idiots. *** ******* ******

Precisely 40 hours a week except for two weeks a couple months back when I was working 11 hour days because our numbers had gotten very low. But I'm also going to school again, so theoretically I should be adding that on top. Come the fall semester, I'll be "working" ~52 hours a week + homework.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

If you work less than thirty you either can't get a better job or you're a lazy ****er. Anything less than 40 is part time. I'll accept a handful of excuses for less than 30: can't find something better, have kids to take care of and your spouse is the breadwinner, you're in school part time, or you're in semi-retirement.

I don't think anyone really cares what you'll accept, just saying.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

What gives with this whole 'Work 50+ hours or die!' stuff espoused by KH, Kuci, HC, and now regexcellent? And this dick-waving about how many hours they work?

It is dick-waving. Hours mean nothing. The worst people I've worked with were all obsessed with how many hours they put in. Wish they were more obsessed with doing a better job.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

40 hours. It's the max governmental limit (well you could work more and get comp time, up to 24 hours of it, but unless you need more leave for a vacation, why?)“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Even the service restricts your time on duty. After a relatively short period, at least in terms of this poll, efficiency and safety drop markedly. You're simply not getting done what a fresh person would be accomplishing, and you're putting yourself and others at risk. It's not worth it to anyone's interests.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
