Your school and/or work hours?

Just curious. For any of you who work, attend some form of school, or do both, what are your hours like? If you work shift-work, how many hours do you work per shift?

Myself, I'm currently not attending any courses and work from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM every week day. It's quite a bit different from my job of 4 years ago which was 8 or 12 hour shift work, 80-90 hours biweekly.
 
8:00-5:30 on call Mon->Weds
7:25 leave house to be in college for 9:00-5:00 on Thurs
7:25 leave house to be in college for 9:00-4:00 on Fri
 
MWF- usually 9-11 a.m., but sometimes my Advanced Algebra class will be hybrid, so I could just go for that one class.

Tues and Thurs- 9:30-10-50 a.m. 12:30 p.m.-1:50 p.m., or sometimes I just don't bother to leave school for those two hours, so it'll be something like 9:30-1:50.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I usually wake up at 7:30 to have a little internet time, then I leave for school at 8:30. On Tuesday and Thursday, I usually wake up at 8:00, same, and leave at 9:00.

It's okay I guess, until the teachers forget to post on the internet that you don't have class that day. -_- It especially sucks if you commute like I do. I wish I could find a job, but there's nothing here unless you're either a high school drop out or you don't go to school like I do, because they always want somebody working at 9 a.m. -_-
 
M-F: Class ranges from 9AM to 1/1:30 AM.
M-F: Work from 3PM to close, which is anywhere from 10:30PM to midnight.

Working has essentially put my theatrics to the side, so I'm not doing anything theater-related at all this semester, and probably next semester as well. My only free time comes after work and on the weekends, basically, and even then, I have to work a Saturday once in a blue moon(like next Saturday, which'll be my uni's Homecoming game).
 
Yeah.... big boy job here. Thank goodness I have awesome bosses that aren't time clock nazis. I generally work 9am(ish) to 5pm(ish). Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 hours a week with a few hours of off hours maintenance done at home (yay for remote connections!) Sometimes more if projects require it.
 
I'm an early morning custodian who wakes up at 4:30 in the morning, so I can get to work at 6:00AM.

There are four sites I have to clean that I have to drive between. The hours are:
Site 1: 6:00-8:30
Site 2: 8:30-10:00
Site 3: 10:00- 12:00
Lunch Break: 12:00-12:30 (mostly spent driving)
Site 4: 12:30-2:30
 
Gosh, I have a stinky schedule at times. I'll put it the way I tend to experience it, not in the common SMTWTFS format.

Monday: Wake at 6 AM, get to campus at 7:30, work out from 8-9, class from 9:30-2:30, herpetology lab 2:30-3:30, leave at 3:30. Home around 4:30, schoolwork and chores until bed at 10:00 PM. Rinse and repeat. :p

Tuesday: Wake at 6 AM, get to campus at 7:30, work out from 8-9, herp lab from 9:30-11:00, Latin from 11:30-12:30, homework until 4:15, class from 4:30-5:30, leave at 5:30. Get home at around 6:30. Chores and homework until 10 PM.

Wednesday: Wake at 6 AM, get to campus at 7:30, raquetball with friends from 8-9, class from 9:30-12:20, speech therapy 12:30-1:15, Ecology of the Great Lakes from 1:30-2:30, herpetology lab 2:30-3:30, leave at 3:30. Home around 4:30, schoolwork and chores until bed at 10:00 PM. Rinse and repeat. :p

Thursday: Wake at 6 AM, get to campus at 7:30, biology lab from 8:30-11:20, Latin from 11:30-12:30, lunch from 12:30-1:15, herp lab from 1:30-2:30, 2:30-3:30 schoolwork. I get home around 4:30, with schoolwork and chores until 10:00 PM. Then bed.

Friday: Wake at 6 AM, get to campus at 7:30, raquetball with friends from 8-9, class from 9:30-12:30, lunch from 12:30-1:15, Ecology of the Great Lakes from 1:30-2:30, herpetology lab 2:30-3:30, leave at 3:30. Home around 4:30, schoolwork and chores until bed at 10:00 PM. Rinse and repeat. :p

Saturday: Now the crappy stuff begins-- Wake at 4:00 AM, work 5 AM-1 PM most Saturdays. 1:00-7:00 time with my boyfriend, 7:00-10:00 chores and schoolwork until bed.

Sunday: Wake at 4:00 AM, work 5 AM-1 PM most Sundays. 1:00-10:00 chores and schoolwork until bed.

The following week is very similar to this, with the sleep debt rising until I get to a break where I either get sick or there is no class.

As one can tell, with my insomnia, I don't get much sleep and depend heavily on large amounts of caffeine. XD
 
I leave for the bus to go to school at 5:35 a.m., and I get home at either 2:30 or 6:00 p.m., depending on whether or not I have marching band practice. It's as simple as that.
 
My job is very flexible, as is the joy of being a volunteer for a charity. Usually I'm in from 10am until whenever I'm needed on a Tuesday and I often work from home. :)

School hours are from 8:00 to 2:23 for me, since I have a 0 hour/period and have 1 less class than most people. However, I'm stuck here until 6 pm every day because I don't have a ride home until then. Should change by the time I get my liscence, though. ♥
 
A senior in high school here, hours being from 9:10 to 3:45 (except on wednesday's when it's until 2:45. I also work at a GameStop Friday-Sunday from 5-9. It's an ok job, but my boss is the strictest killjoy who makes me feel like he'll fire me at a moment's notice...

2:23 seems a bit of a random time xD
Well, school ends at 4:15 for everyone else, and our passing periods are 6 minutes in length... so our classes end at weird moments, like 11:44 or 10:52 or something. XD

At work my actual contracted hours are:

Monday 13:30-22:30
Friday 13:30-22:30
Saturday 11:30-20:30

But being one of four Team Leaders means I usually end up working more, usually an extra one or two days of similar shifts each week, especially during busy times like the run up to Christmas. Sometimes Saturday changes to 06:00-15:00 if I have to open up, but as I usually close up I manage to avoid these most of the time these days.
 
My daily schedule consists of
  • Waking up between 5:00am-7:00am every morning
  • MWF- Advanced Sculpture Class 1:00-2:50pm
  • MW- Advanced Painting at 3:00-5:30pm
  • W- Professional Practices 11:00am-12:00pm
  • TH- Work at my school's museum dedicated solely to children's book illustrations 6:00am-12:00pm
  • T- History of Visual Communication & Illustration
  • And when I'm not taking a break or procrastinating, my free time consists of
    • Theatre shop hours- 4hrs a week
    • Having to work on any of the plays (tech rehearsals on the weekend before the show opens from 12-10pm, Mon-Sat 6:00-10:00 pm, & Matinee & strike the set on Sun 2:00pm to 10:00pm +)
    • Physical therapy appointments (1 hr- 3 days a week)
    • Homework

Update: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have classes 9am-12 noon, and Tuesdays/Thursdays are 9:30-10:45am and 2-3:15pm. I had a similar schedule last semester, but with an added 1-2 class on MWF and classes ending at 5 on Tuesdays.

I also go home on the weekends, with my buses being around 12:35-4:00 on Fridays and 3:35-7 on Sundays, if traffic is good/typical
