How many hours do I really work a week....



Ok, so honestly I was thinking about this today after I read an article that polled IT people and found out they are only working 40% of the week, The rest of the week is online or doing personal stuff. I looked at this and wondered how I fit in this category, seeing I am an IT person at my job, so lets break it down.

Monday - Busy, out of an 8 hour work day, I am off the phones about an hour on breaks and personal walking around and another hour for lunch which does not count, so thats now 7 hours I am logged on the phones taking calls, out of that 7 hours there are times I do not get calls so lets take another hour, on our busiest day, I am only really working 5.5-6 hours

Tuesday - This month I am on a certain duty at job on Tuesdays, which means I log on the phones at 6am and log off from 7am until 3pm when I get off, in those hours I monitor emails that come in and make calls to sites if need be. I am writing right now, and am getting paid for it. On this day I would say I only work about 2-2.5 hours

Wednesday I am off

Thursday and Friday - These are mediocre days, they could be slow or busy, I still take my breaks and personal walk around time, so lets say again5.5-6 hours

Saturday I am off

Sunday - I come in at 2am, do my weekend assignment which lasts me until 3:30, sleep until 7 when the next guy comes in, take a few calls that come in around that time, go to lunch for 30 minutes, come back listen to podcasts or sleep or just goof around online and at 10:30 I go home, all in all I work around 2.5-3 hours on a Sunday

WOW, I only work around 23.5 hours on average a week, on months that I do not do special projects during the week I would say I work around 29 hours a week, which leaves me with 11 hours of being at work doing abolutely nothing productive, I love my job
