re: How much work at work do you actually do?

I'm on Tigerdroppings

My utilization rate (billables/total) is right at 69% ( )

So it is fair to assume that I work around that amount of time per day.

Assuming 40 hour work week (usual) this would mean I actual work around 28 hours a week, or 5.5 hours a day.

Granted that is a little skewed for times when I am really busy and work 60 billables. Washed out by the fact that some weeks I do not do anything.

not much if i'm being honest.
but when i'm needed, i'm REALLY needed

value is where you find it i guess

My first job out of college was an accounting/finance position for a fairly large company. After a few months of doing not much of anything and hearing a co-worker say that he was entirely finished doing everything possible he could work on by 10am each day, I kept track the next two weeks

Every time I did anything work related I started the timer on my iphone. The first week was our busiest week of the month. 5 hours and 45 minutes total. The second week was our slowest. 1 hour and 35 minutes total.

I get to work at 6 every morning and probably get more work done in two hours than most of you do all day....

if that's true you certainly get more done than I do
fortunately I found a career that doesn't require me to do very much

who wins?

I'd rather not say.

You know.. because of the implications.

Work for a big corporation where everything is over staffed. Anytime the least thing comes up, it's a big race to see who can get it done.

Tell us which one baw.

I work at a large company and I'm busy most of the day Mon-Thur; even work a few hours at night sometimes to keep up. We get every other Friday off so when we're in on Fridays it's pretty slow and I can slack a bit.

To those who work a few hours a day, what the hell is your job and how much do you make?

Most days, I get to the office around 7AM after my morning jog. I drink a large coffee and do a whole days worth of work in the first 3 hours. It's amazing what I get accomplished between 7 and 10.

After that its hit and miss.

-Sometimes I will work from home after 11am while getting drunk.

-Sometimes I will go out into the field and check on people.

-Sometimes I will take clients to lunch.

-Sometimes I will eat a huge lunch and take a 2 hour nap.

I usually end up answering emails from home between 4-7pm.
