How many of you have a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, 40 hour a week job? In my life, I've had I had lots of different jobs, from "Gardener" to "Professor", but only for one brief time did I work office hours. (For three weeks at a very small ISP/computer store in the year 2000). I don't know many people who work 9 to 5 jobs, either. I do know that the minority of people who have managed to wrangle themselves a job working regular hours, with regular duties, in a regular office, do still assume its kind of normal, and look down on people with irregular hour jobs because we aren't waking up at the same time as them. Like "haha, wait, you were still at home on 10 AM on a Tuesday? Wow, what a lazybones!". Like, do these people realize that when they go into a supermarket at 10 PM on a Saturday night and their is a cashier there, that that person is working on the weekends but not all week? Anyway, I want to see what people think of this. Are there still a lot of office workers working traditional hours, and I just don't run into them?

I spent years working every weekend, and unless your friends also work weekends it loving blows. "Hey do you want to party on tuesday or wednesday? Oh you have work? Ok. See you.... Whenever I quit this job and not a minute sooner. Hotta pay those dues tho and time and a half was nice.

I had a few as a teenager when I got paid by the hour, but as an adult, once I got salaried, you just loving work whatever hours are needed to meet client expectations. I kinda miss doing 9-5 sometimes. Such is life.

I am an office worker too. Most of my days are spent trying to finish my assigned tasks despite the constant interruptions of my superiors. This is all in the vain hope that I will buy a house some day and own it before old age claims my sanity.

I work 7ish to 5ish Monday through Friday. Does that count? 50 to 60 hours a week. Oil patch Edit. I guess my truck counts as an office.

I work rotating shifts and most people hate it but I love it. Some weeks you are a hermit and cannot hang out with friends or anything. And other weeks are normal. I easily adjust to going to sleep at 7 AM when I work nights. It also helps because I get to do things like bring my kid to an amusement park on a Tuesday when it's empty. A lot of people hate it, though. Working Christmas does suck, but that sweet 2.5X pay for 12 hours makes up for it. Plus you just celebrate holidays on a different day and your family understands.

I had a 9-5 for about 3 months in a bank after college. I had a 7-3 for a few months. These days I mostly work 12 hour shifts 7-7, 7 days a week for a few months then take a couple months off

I work 6-2 since all of my co-workers are in a different time zone than me, it's nice to get off work and have eight hours of free time

I work a 9-5 job. I do not look down on shift workers, because if everyone worked the same hours, there would be nothing to do when I wasn't at work, so I would be forced to spend all of my free time on GBS.

Worst shift I ever worked was noon to midnight. The midnight to noon guy did whatever he wanted overnight/while the 9-5 bosses and clients and vendors were still getting awake and situated and caffeinated, and then skipped on off to bed after lunch. Midnight to noon owned.

Early in my career as governor of a medium state, sure, I'd do the whole 9-5 thing

at my work you are REQUIRED to do 7 hours 21 minutes a day (not including lunch break, which must be minimum 30 minutes) but you can do those hours at any time between 7AM and 7PM subject to operational requirements. it's really sweet, though in practice since the area i work in is the highest level legal area in a very large organisation we all work much longer hours.

I work 9-5 Monday thru Thursday and 9-2 on Friday, and they just pay us all for 40 hours anyway. I'm a machinist though I don't work in an office, I can post on GBS all day because I hardly do any actual work when I'm doing CNC. When I don't post on GBS it means I'm doing manual machining that day.

It's more like 9-3 because I live in a socialist utopia

I do, and it's for a bank, and I want to die. It's a QA gig and contracted to boot so I'm probably out on my rear end come the end of August.

I "work" 730-400. It's a place that has cool A/C and faster internet than home. Sort of like a library and I have the ability to hire and fire people to boot. Not sure what I should be doing but they keep paying me every two weeks

I have not had a job since 1998-99, it was 8 to 4 selling crap over the phone to stupid old people. But disability benefits pay better than working here so I dont need a job.

Having a 9-5 office job is great as long as your friends also all have 9-5 office jobs. If they don't it all goes to poo poo and they work when you're off and you're off when they work. Its crazy I tell you. Then again, someone has to serve me at the local supermarket when I finish work and swing by to buy a bottle of whiskey to try and forget my boring 9-5 office job life.

I work 11 to 8, a shift I got to choose. The pay is bad, but I found an corporate seeing where the people are great to work with and there benefits are pretty good, which makes me afraid to try to find a job that pays better. The higher ups have reasonable expectations of what everyone can do, which is also nice. I just wish it paid a couple of bucks more per hour.

I've noticed that the more money someone has the more they think that is "normal." Tech people in the Bay Area earning $250k act like that is a normal middle class income for a 25 yr old and if you point out that is in the top 5% of incomes they look confused and dopey and cock their head sideways like a dog
