How Busy Are You?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

I work 50 hours a week.

I am taking two classes this semester.

I barely seem to have time to breathe.

So how busy are you guys?

[av8rdave]

1. Things are calm for a few more days, then out of town for 8 out of 9

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. i think i would hate that even more.

:hi:

[av8rdave]

30. It's a rather strange work schedule this month and next

[Nicole]

2. Not at all.

I don't work.

I don't go to school.

I take time to stop and smell the roses all day long.

Yes, I'm a total slacker. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. if thats true..i am so jealous

i would like to just stay at home and be a socialite housewife...

sigh!

:)

[Nicole]

31. It is true.

Except for the socialite part. They wouldn't let me join, something about pajamas and house shoes not being acceptable daytime attire. :P:

[skygazer]

4. Right now, not a bit

Out of work on disability following knee surgery. I fool around on DU, exercise and pretend to clean the house.

As of the first week of April, very busy. I'll be working 40 hours a week and taking 4 classes.

All or nothing in my life, I guess.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. wow! 4 classes and 40hours work is a lot!

:hi:

[neweurope]

7. I'm a disability pensioner. I'm renovating a house.

I plaster and I paint, using masking tape. Taking the masking tape off, the plaster comes off with it. So I replaster and re-paint... And I'm getting sick of it.
I also have two horses to take care of and a garden to create in a sand wilderness. I'm pretty damned busy. And I'm in pain. :(

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[skygazer]

10. Have you tried the blue paint tape?

It peels off easier, from what I understand. :hi:

[neweurope]

13. Thanks for the tip! But we don't have that here in

Germany:( The house is from 1928 and the walls are sanding. And unfortunately I am obsessed by old fashioned casein colours and stencils and whatnot... I have all rooms done but two, and those two evidently never get finished *sigh*
I want on somebody's lap and have my head stroked :cry:

8. It varies.

I work 60 hours per week but the pace varies, which is why I have time to check in here a few times per day.

My 4 hours of commuting every day is a bit excessive, but at least I get to read for most of it, so that's okay too.

:shrug:
It could definitey be worse.

[Miss_Strawberry]

9. I'm a full time student

five classes each 80 minutes long.
I do a lot of reading and I have a few big, important papers coming up.
Once I read something carefully, I tend to remember it, so I don't do much studying or looking things over.
I'm graduating in May, so I quit my job and just keep putting expenses on my credit card...I've had a job since I was 14...so this is pretty excellent.

[Maineiac]

11. My work week is 60 hours

I'm at the gym every morning at 5 to work out. I go back at night after work to take a class or in the summer we'll do a road ride. I'm on the board of directors for he Bicycle Coalition of Maine, an advocacy group, I volunteer for the American Diabetes Association and I'm on the organizing committee for the American Folk Festival, an annual open to the public event that draws about 150,000 visitors a year. I guess my calendar is pretty full.

[Guava Jelly]

12. I work 6 days a week

8-12 hours
I am up at 3 am and out cold before 10 pm.
I am normally exhausted.

[guitar man]

14. busy, busy, busy

Job is 40 hours a week, but it's about 100 miles away, so that takes up a bunch of time, then:

I have a 15 month old daughter, I take care of her while my wife works on the weekend

Part-time job #1, my band. We are only playing about 2 nights a month now, but every little bit of exrtra money helps.

Part time job #2, my recording studio/CD duplication service. Jobs are sporadic these days, more live recording jobs than anything, but again, every bit of extra money helps these days.

so, I get 4-6 hours of sleep most nights, that's the explanation why I seem so batty most of the time. :hi:

[The2ndWheel]

15. Not very

30 hours a week for work.

A nice, slow 1.5 hour walk to and from work.

No kids, no girlfriend, but then I'm an American with no car and no money, so, I'm not busy wondering why. Plus I ain't pretty.

I don't much like time, yet I have so much of it. It's also going quicker as I get older(only 28, but the last 14 years are a total blur). It's crazy.

[deepthought42]

16. I have two jobs...

One (i'm at now), cube-dweller, 40 hrs. week, pretty much eats up my week cuz I end up going to bed earlier than I like, I have less energy, less motivation...because my job is boring as hell. I spend most of my time trying to find ways to kill time between answering the phone and copying/filing stuff. Thank goodness for DU!

The other job, part-time, retail (bookstore), I enjoy more, but I only work one day a week right now. That job keeps me busy while i'm working.

But this fall I'll be starting grad school....so things will get a lot busier.

I hope you get some time off soon! :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. for a few months i was workign 8.00 am to 10pm...its sucked...

[deepthought42]

34. I did that for awhile...

usually only 3-4 nights a week, if that. But yeah...it sucks. Thank goodness I haven't been scheduled for weeknights @ job #2!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. I roll a stone up a hill all day but the damned thing rolls back down

fucking rock!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. very ancient greek of you...

[asthmaticeog]

20. Sissy

phus.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. ...

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. I guess I'm not busy enough.

I spend way too much time here even though I have a ton of stuff to do.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. i get time at work...where i am on hold w. some client or the other..

thats frequently when i post...

[NMDemDist2]

22. i'm not busy. work 25 hrs a week in three days

and man oh man do i feel guilty

but not guilty enough to get off my arse and quit posting on DU :evilgrin:

[sir_captain]

25. I'm a med student

I'd say I'm at school about 100 hours a week. Weekends have ceased to exist. I haven't had more than a 3 day weekend in 5 years. My stress level is unbelievably high. So yeah, I'd say I'm pretty busy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. all my sympathies.

[sir_captain]

29. Heh. Thanks.

It's not so bad, really--I love what I do. And it's certainly a bed I made for myself.

Speaking of which, I should get back to work. I need to study hard so I can have my bentley (and mercedes) and victorian mansion and get crucified on DU for being a freeper and not caring about my patients. ;-)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. 40 hours a week + watch my life slip by.

[JackBeck]

28. At the moment?

Not at all. I'm on vacation today and tomorrow. I had to take these two roll-over vacation days or I'd lose them.

Just hanging out at home.

[crim son]

32. I should be busy but I've let it all slip for a long time.

I guess I should feel guilty but I don't, not usually.

[BluePatriot]

33. Lately it's "how busy can I look"

I have tried to get them to throw extra work my way. Feh.

So now I volunteer doing logistics with a nonprofit to kill time and only spend 2-3 hours a workday on DU vs. 4-5. I swear I am not kidding.
