Before I ret.Civil Service , I worked an ave. of 10 hrs.
a day, working most of the time through my lunch time,
not to mention weekends at times.
I work on ave. 8 hrs. a day but I start at 6 am and work through lunch. I do get a break at 9 am that lasts anywhere from 9:15 to 9:25. I am also expected to work on the weekends. Sometimes 24 hours a day or more. Sometimes I am required to work seven 12 hr days too. I am on my feet all day long, up and down ladders and often with at least 15 to 20 extra pounds of tools, boots or materials on my person.
Wanna trade?! ;^)
I work in the private sector.
I work every week-end...52 weeks a year.
I work 12 hrs a day.
I am interrupted on avg. 1 out of every 5 lunch breaks...to go check on something or someone.
