Just curious . . .
I've been waking up earlier with the sun lately but I work 3:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. so usually I'm a night owl.
I like working the "opposite" of the majority of the city but sometimes mourn my "normal" weekends.
What's you schedule?
What do you like/dislike about it?

But that's cool. If you want, you can have a beer or two after work and go for a walk. It's one of the most quiet times of the day. You can see the sun rise before you go to bed.

How do you like the split shift? You mentioned school, too?

I like taking “romantic walks to the convenient store” at sun rise, but soon it’ll be too warm to wear my flack jacket. ;)
I’m able to set my own hours to meet the requirement for the most part. That’s great as long as I don’t have a “distraction” that puts me out of senc with my goals. :rolleyes:
8:30 am to 5:00 pm for me ... then I come home and usually try to do some time at typing that I do for a local medical group .... My schedule is pretty much what is available in the work that I do, but if I could find a job that was 11:00 am to 7:00 that would probably be the ideal time frame for my personal taste..... ah well, in this world, I'm just glad to have a job!!! :)

12-15 hours/week from 5AM to 8AM. Love it. I'm a morning person anyway, and so those hours don't disturb my sleep or other activities. (It does help being retired from my "career job" and not dependent on the work, too. :D)

I work a rotational schedule.
4 nights 7pm-7am, then 4 days off.
I like it :) On work days I sleep all day while hubby works and the baby gets to play with his cousins at nana's house, then I'm up in time to have supper and spend a couple hours with my family before going into work. Then I get four whole days off which rotate falling on weekdays/weekends. Because my shifts end up causing me to work some stat holidays, I also get 7 extra vacation days on top of my regular 10 (take 4 nights off and get 12 days off in a row-can't beat it!).
Of course, this is only until I get pregnant again :D After my year of maternity leave, I'll only be going back to work part time, 22hrs a week (min to still qualify for benefits).

I usually work 7am-3:15pm, Monday thru Friday. We used to be able to pull 4-10's and have Friday off...or work 4-9's and a 4 hour day on Friday, but the cutters couldn't keep up with the seamstresses and complained so we all suffer now! If we have overtime, I can go in at 6 but I can't leave after my eight hours. I have to stay and take OT. Otherwise. I have to go in at 7am. We are trying to show the big boss the benefits of having me and the other girls in early and working 4-10's again...but he's leary. I can be very persuasive though...so we should have our old hours back in no time!

I am not affiliated with the ideas behind that commercial in any way! :p

Self-employed -- set my own hours. And my studio is in my home. And therein lies the trap.
One can too easily fall into the routine of working too much, working weekends, etc., etc. No matter what time of day I work (mostly early, early morning), you need to establish a routine.
On the plus side, if I wake up and the day is just too damn good to not pack in the canoe and head for my favorite pond, I can do that and make up for it on the W/E.

I typically work about 7:30 am - 6 pm...then I often do email and customer entertainment in the evenings. I ALWAYS take Saturday completely off, even if I work a bit from home on Sunday.
The life of being salaried....you work 50% of your time, but no one cares which 12 hours. ;)

For 4 years I worked 5 nights weekly, 11 pm-7am; had 2 nights off in a row only every other week. Went from that to doing 13 weeks of 7pm to 7:30 am, or whenever I finally finished, 3 nights a week, w/every other weekend off. I immediately switched to working a job in which I leave at 6:40 am and get home at 6:40 pm 5 days a week. Switching to day shift is quite an adjustment, but at least I have 3 weekends out of 4 off each month.

I am a night owl, who has to conform to the public school hours. Damn the man! Most nights, I get anywhere from 4-6 hours of sleep, because no matter how early I was up, I can't fall asleep until after 1, sometimes even as late as 3 or 4am. Then, back up at 7:30 to get Rae around and ready, and on the bus.

Usually 6 AM to 6 PM. Yes , it's that salary thing. I try to avoid weekends but am not always successful.
Not exactly working outside the house but...Up at 4:30 AM and asleep around 9:30 PM.

I work thursday evenings, all day and evening Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday.
I can't wait to get a job where it's monday to friday. I can't stand not having my weekends to spend with my sweetie.. we never get to sleep in together, we never get to make breakfast together, or walk our dogs together, or any of that, and I want those weekends back.

I work 9.30 to 5.30 and I absolutely lurve the fact that I get a sleep in in the morning.
