I am PRESENT for 8 hours a day.
I certainly don't work for 8 hours.
There is CP time to factor in, plus checking bank accounts, headline, personal phone calls etc.
I work about 5.5 to 6.0 hours per day.

Hi Dave
This is your boss, I suggest you clear your desk and leave the office keys on the way out.
Your P45 will be in the post.

But this is my attempt to keep work and private lives separate. I end up spending more time in the office, 45-50 hour weeks instead of the contractual 40 but I don't take work home with me and don't even check work email outside of work. I'm extremely lucky that my current employer has an official process within the timekeeping system that allows me to compensate 100% of my overtime as extra days off.

Then in essence, you have an 8 hour work day and it should just be regarded as flexi time. 
That said, currently I work about 10 hours a day but soon I might be able to do a bit less, though not officially. Thus it is also a for of flexi.

There was a time (not so long ago) that I had multiple projects and worked on them on a daily basis. This meant that every day I was in front of a computer at least 14 hours.
Weekends were not an exception... maybe less time but still a lot for a weekend.
I recently moved abroad and quit all the external stuff.
Life quality improved 500% and the income too
From my experience, if you're working too much (for too long) you need to do something about it, even if you're comfortable with it... Trust me on this 
|

|
|
|
So, where did you move from? and to?
|
|
|
|
|
From Portugal to Switzerland... and loving it!

It depends how much work u have...and how close is your deadline
Happy Coding...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes.
It really depend on deadline.sometimes you work more than 12 hours if deadline is approaching and if you don't have critical deadline you will sit in office to just make it 8 hours.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you are right, its depend on work and deadlines.

I totally agree with you, it depends on the deadline as well as how much other word you have as well.
For example, I am currently involved in two projects and I have to do my daily user support tasks as well.
Sometimes you need to finish as much as you can from user support side in order to resume development and some time you have to have an overtime hour or two just to stay on track with the projects.
So, +5 for your comment Vipin!

The next survey question should be "How much coding for work per day?"

Actually, how much time for the following tasks:
meetings,
coding,
documentation,
general cleanup tasks,
IT tasks,
etc.

So that's what I try to do. Life is to short for all work.
I have been known to make 12 to 16 hour days when necessary though.
I do confuse people though, since my work is also my hobby (typing code).
Some people believe I work in evenings and weekends too. Hell no (not a lot anyway)! 
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

I know the feeling with one minor exception; my regular working day is 9 hours, the rest is hobby. My wife always wonders if i'm working or not and I find it hard to explain the difference. Really addictive this line of 'work'.

But there are times when even at my advanced age (57) I'm programming at 3:00 AM.

Would anyone mind in future if I use the notation
x є (M, N] to mean M < x <= N?

Ah, open and closed intervals. It's been some time since I needed them 
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

|
|
ah, the closed border is a null set anyway, so it doesn't matter
