Boardies working schedules

    The latest boards beers thread (and their tendency to be Friday evening night focused) has me curious how many Galway boardies are straight up 9-5, M-F types; versus students, shop/service workers, the like.

    I'll go first obviously: I'm a night porter, I'm typing this from work at the very moment, and my nights off vary. It's generally Thursday and Friday night, but next week, for instance, I'm off Monday, Tuesday, and Friday nights. So I'll be raging the hardest Monday night.

    My hours are all over the place... Could be M-F one week, then 7 days in a row the following week without getting a weekend off for 2-3 weeks in a row.
    There's no real set pattern

    I work Monday to Friday from 8am to whenever I can escape :). That usually ends up being around 6pm to 7pm. I often stay later in the office if something urgent comes up or I feel like doing some gaming.

    Look at you all with your long hours and stuff!

    I teach 5 classes a week, from Monday to Wednesday, (35-45 minutes each) because I'm a student teacher. I don't get paid for them but I get extra classes to supervise (paid), anything from 1 to 17 extra classes a week.

    I think real work would kill me.

    Monday to Friday, 8.30 - 5.30 on average. I live and work in Dublin now, haven't been about Galway city in a while but I still like to check in on boards. Miss the place :(

    I'm a M-F student (sometimes 10-5) and Thursday-Sunday worker sometimes doing 25-30 hours a week.

    M-F, 8:30-6 though late nights are often due to working with US basterds *shakes fist*

    Fridays are a flip between heading to Dublin and staying in Galway also

    M-F 9-5? These boards have the most studious group of students I've seen.

    Office hours, great for being able to plan ahead.
    I feel so grown up saying that.
