Define work.....

I do between 38 and 41 hours per week, 5 days. But am on call pretty much 24/7 - luckily only about 3 or 4 times a year I get called in to do extra. But I could easily work more - I simply choose not to, and/or delegate to staff (who also only work 38 hours or so per week).

Average between 60 - 70 hrs week in week out, peaks at 120+ p/wk when it gets busy. Salaried job - payslip says 38hrs p/wk....go figure.
