An average of 40 hours per week for me. My hours are very flexible. I'm on a two week pay period and my boss doesn't care if I work 72 hours in three days as long as I get my work done. I usually schedule my time so that I get a day or two off without having to use vacation time. As a result, I have over 330 hours of vacation built up. My boss might get upset if I took it all at once though. :rolleyes:

This is the best! I once had a month and a half of vacation time and the company closed its locations in my state. It wasn't totally accrued because they closed mid-year.

Of course as soon as I write something like that, we have a major delivery at work and I ended up working over 60 hours last week. I'll definitely get most of the coming week off.

Up until now, never worked a single second.

This semester I may grade some UGs work, something like 100-150 assigments to check, or in other words academic slave.
