I don't work at the moment. I (hopefully) will be approved for Substitute Teacher position next week. My husband works the night shift at the hospital, 10p-830a. The good news he gets every other weekend off starting Thursday and doesn't go back until Wednesday night. It's great!! It's like a mini vacation.

Well since I am self employed I set my hours.
As the season is winding down I work about 3 days a week 2-4 hrs/day.
In mid-April and through mid-June I start sometimes around 6-6:30 am to 2 pm or so.
An occasional Saturday for a few hours if needed. This does not include though the time I spend looking/buying plants/mulch/topsoil or other stuff for clients, planting up containers and any work in my veg garden for clients either. Oh....can't forget the bookkeeping stuff either!!

My schedule changes weekly. But I work either 7AM - 1PM or 1PM-6PM. And on rare occasions 4 PM- 9PM

I quit my job so I could concentrate on school but next summer it will probably be the same as the last 5 years: Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm or 7am to 7pm. And on the weekends I do volunteer work at an animal hospital. I'm usually there for about 4 hours every Saturday and Sunday.

At the kitty's beck and call
I love my job - my working conditions are flexible. I work hard, but when I'm not teaching or holding office hours for students, I can work from home.

Friday, I have no teaching/office hours at all, so get to spend the whole day working with the kitties for company


I rarely have to work weekends - occasionally, I work on a Saturday if we have an open day for prospective students but that's about it.

I'm scheduled work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 6:30 am to 5 pm. I have every Wednesday off. I also have to take call at least one night a week and at least one weekend a month (sometimes more.) I rarely get out of work at 5 pm though. Last Monday it was 8 pm, last Thursday it was 7:30 pm, today it was about 6:30 pm. We are so short staffed that I have to stay to finish the surgery that I'm scrubbed in on, because there's nobody to relieve me at the end of my shift.

Sunday through Thursday 2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. I love my job. . . sometimes I dont feel like going in, but I know that is the sickness talking, and most times I try not to listen. . .

I work Mon, Thrs, Sat & (and some Fri's depending) from 7:00am-4:00pm- although on Thrs, our spay/neuter day i never really make it out of there till close to 5 pm
On Sundays i work from 8am-12pm (i have to clean the entire shelter by myself on sundays - over 150+ animals and do meds) and then go back to work from 5:00-6:00pm to rewater the animals/do meds. It stinks. The bad thing about my job is that when i was hired i was told that two months later i'd be getting my full time hours/benifits....obviously that never happened
So they're literally cutting me off by one day a week from getting my full benifits/full time hours.
Most weeks i work 4 days on and have 3 days off -some weeks though like this week- i pick up a friday when they need me. I'm always picking up extra hours when they ask me to. I also get stuck working EVERY single darn holiday and weekend because i'm the only part time person


Anyone wanna trade?
