Does anybody here actually work 9 to 5, M-F, with weekends off?

[phoebe7165]

Or is that just a thing of the past?

I heard the term "9 to 5 grind" on the radio recently. I don't remember ever working 9 to 5 on any job. Even when I worked in a warehouse, I worked 7 to 3:30. I'm usually up early now and I notice quite a few people going into work as early as 5AM. When my brother worked at a supermarket, he would have to be at work at 3AM, and my sister works in a hospital and most of her shifts at noon-11pm.

And you figure, doctors, police officers, fire fighters, people who work in 24 hour stores, etc. work all hours of the day & night.

I work Monday/Friday 9/5 weekends off, and i love it.

I work Monday-Friday - 8:30 to 5:00 in an office. My guess is most office workers do work Monday-Friday. Places like stores, hospitals, etc... are open 7 days a week so workers may be asked to work weekends or on shifts that start or end earlier than 9 or 5.

Well, I work in an office building. When I worked in the phone sales department, my schedule was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. It was 11:30-8 on the weekdays and 9:30-6 on Saturdays.

Now that I'm the administrative assistant, I work M-F with weekends off. My hours vary now that I've been working overtime and the other administrative assistant quit. I like working later in the day since I like to sleep late and I get to miss rush hour.

That's a sexy shift because you get to sleep in the moning a lttle and still have a lot of evening left once you get home. But I guess that would depend on how close you are to your job

I usually work 8am-6 or 7, and I'll work weekends also with just one day off during the week. But I'm going to start working 8-4

I've never worked those hours and I hope I never have to. I'm the kind of person who likes unusual random hours. I don't mind working weekends either.

I wish! I'm a teacher/multiple club advisor/grad student/free-lance journalist so...what's the word "off" mean?

[OH Nuts!]

I work in a late office (start time 9:30-10) but my job is definitely not 9-5. On a slow night I'm there till 6:30 or so. Occasionally a Sat or Sun. Sept & Oct are particularly crazy. Last Monday I was there till 9:45

I never had a nine to five job or some sort of type before, I usually work at night and it's mostly Thru. through Sunday, i'm lucky to set my own schedule but my husband is not so lucky, he owns his own tattoo shop and mostly works in the daytime with those 9 to 5 type of hours.

I don't have a set schedule, but I normally work later. I work alot of 2:30 to 11:00 shifts which I don't mind, I like sleeping in. It messes me up when I'm scheduled at 8:00 or 9:00 am. I'm not a morning person at all.

[dawsongirl]

I work 9-2:30, M-F.
