Can vary...sometimes do a few remote checks between forum stuff between 6-7am...play some Battlefield, coffee, breakfast, forums, and more forum stuff. Hit the road to do a few onsites starting around 9 or 10am..sometimes 11am if slow.

Lunch..eh..varies...no "official" 1/2 hour or hour. Eat whenever..take however long.

Stop working? usually start slowing down around 4 or 5...start wanting to head home. In the summertime..wanting to be done by 4 so can head home and get time in on the boat. During winter...more inclined to work later...til 5 or 6 or 7.

Now and then need to do some extra early work, or extra late work...doing after hours stuff at clients.

Pretty much the same.

Consultant

Hours vary like crazy. Most days I like to start around 10am or so and end around 5 from anything on the road. Lunch breaks are only taken if I have some downtime or for company meetings(we have most of are meetings over lunches). Start back up at like 8 or 9 at night if I have stuff to check like servers, backups, do updates to servers etc. Work as late as 2 or 3 am if I am busy.

If I have to update a network or something I'll do it at night or on the weekand. Have keys for many of our clients. Also do stuff like rebuilds at home. Have 2 clients machines sitting next to my desk as projects for this weekand. One was loaded with virus and crap and had a bad motherboard(blown caps). Other I'm upgrading from 2000 to xp pro. They will take up some of my sunday.

Wow, so many of you guys are salary. I'm glad I'm not.

Many salried workers in IT tend to have better overall compensation packages then hourly and they can negotiate that. Also, since my position is project driven, hourly work does not mean much. Should I get my programming assignments done before it's due date I'm not under any time pressure to start another. Still, my office hours are 8 - 5 to satisy the old timer management staff, so we show up to make an appearance.

So being stricly hourly by the clock for me anyways, would not be so good a thing. In this modern day and age it's also very old
fashion.
