What are your ideal working hours?

This may be a repeat post from the one below but I was wondering what your ideal work week would be if you could chose.  I'm currently 40hrs/wk.  I work M-F 8am to 4:30pm.  Ideally, I'd like to do 3 days a week or 24hrs/wk.

    Right now I work 45 hours (730-530) so even 40 sounds great to me! My ideal shift would be 7-4 or even longer hours mon thru thurs so I would get off early Fridays. In a perfect world...

    I'd like to go down to 32 hours or 80% eventually.

    I currently work 28 hrs, 3 days a week (1 12hr day, 2 8hr days).  It really is nice.  I used to work 55-60 hrs a week, but it seemed a bit too much when our 2nd LO is born and with DH having a awful schedule.  I get a lot done during my 4 days/week off and still feel well connected to my job.

    I work 7-4 and love it. I would love to work less days but keep the same hours.

    I'm doing 8-3 now and it's pretty nice... Now if I were going 8-3 only 3 or 4 days a week, that would be even nicer!

    I work 6:30-3:30 Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays.

    Works great as I really don't miss much with DD right now as she sleeps for about 3-4 of those hours.

    I work 9-3 Monday - Thursday with any additional work usually completed at home at night.  (Aside from the mandatory early morning or late afternoon meeting I need to attend on-site here or there). 

    It works great for my current position because I am working during "core" business hours most of the week. 

    I admit that they are great hours - but I recently took over a previous employee's full time workload, and am expected to squeeze it all in for now until we can find someone to offload some of the work.  Situations like this are what make the reduced work schedule tricky at times!

    Right now I work 24 hrs/week (two 12-hr shifts) and that is pretty ideal for me.

    In a perfect world, I would work two Saturdays a month, twelve hour shifts, and have the paycheck I make now.Big Smile
