I work ~50hrs/wk and I'd work more if they'd let me. Got me a 2nd job for the winter moving snow after I get off work at 2am. Conviently enough tho the guy I scoop snow for has the plant I work at so When I punch out of one job I'm instantly punched into the next.

Work hard, play harder - I'm a good timing American daughter! My work is play, I'm a dog trainer so I get to play with puppies mostly. It's at a PetSmart so it's also a very busy retail environment which can drain a person like me who hates crowds. I do it for the puppies, and to pay for my addiction.
I call my Camaro my "decompression chamber" because no matter how busy it is at work, that long walk out to the car is the best part of my day where I climb inside, and settle in for a nice drive away from the city towards the mountains and home.

props to u guys that put in the hours

Put in my first day of work 9:30-5:30 with a 10min break.... thought i was going to die

[baumy2eagle]

Hell sometimes i'll come back to work cuz i'm bored lol....but seriously thanks for all that put in those long hours doing construction, fire and police departments especially, factory workers, etc...... thanks and merry christmas

I put in on average 45-50hrs a week, and depending on project could go up from there. I could care less about the hours, it is all about what I take home, and after uncle sam gets his part, and I take at minimum 6-7K home I am happy and single . Have enough to put back 2-3K for retirement each month, after paying mortgage and car ect. The part that sucks is paying the govt 30K+ a year in taxes. I dont mind working 45-50hrs but anything more I am just not interested in burning myself out.

leonardo,

I'm with you. I work around 50-60hrs a week, am taking classes to get my masters (MBA) and have just started a Camaro South Columbia car club. Thanks to my wife who is a stay at home mother and takes care of our two kids and does all needed errands.

I came from a poor family:( I started working when I was 12 years old granted it was just a paper route but it paid me money! I'm currently 28 right now and still working Full time in the retail field and I go to school full time on top of it. I bought everything on my own and happy I got the camaro it makes me work harder. If I didn't have a job I wouldn't have my camaro so I appreciate being employed.
