Loads of factors, when I am finished with what I am doing, deadline, if I managed that what I wanted to finish off for the day, etc. etc. | | | Julian Holmes Japón Local time: 15:31 Miembro 2011 japonés al inglés By around midnight | Nov 3, 2013 |
I've always been a nightbird since around the time I started studying for my 'A' levels. Don't think we'll be expecting scintillating, in-depth discussion today. | | | Mary Worby Reino Unido Local time: 07:31 alemán al inglés + ...
My working hours are defined by school hours, so I generally clock off when the children arrive home on the bus! | |

I don't have a daily schedule and the time when I finish my work depends on the time when I started and the project details. Viva the anarchy! | | | Daniel Penso Estados Unidos Local time: 23:31 Miembro 2012 japonés al inglés + ...
I have finished around 12 or 1 am but would prefer to finish before that time to get enough sleep. | | |

Sometimes we have dinner and I go back to work. | | | neilmac España Local time: 08:31 español al inglés + ...
It depends on so many factors that this is hard for me to answer. Basically when I have work in hand I tend to keep at it until it's done and dusted. I try not to work much after midnight, but sometimes I have to... | |

so I voted other. At the moment, now it's going dark at 4.30ish, I have to take the dogs at 4, then I will do more work when I get back, then cook, go out to badminton/yoga/dance, eating before or after as appropriate. I may then do more work when I get back if I haven't finished my quota for the day or if I'm really into what I'm doing and want to get more under my belt. One day last week I ended up working until 3.30 in the morning, as I'd had so many unscheduled interruptions during the day, ... See more so I voted other.

whenever I feel like it, whenever a job is due, etc. life revolves around taking DD to school, picking her up, putting her to bed, etc. I work before, inbetween and after those main time factors. | | |
No such thing as a typical day (fortunately)! When I have work in hand I tend to keep at it until it's done but never after midnight, though I'm more of a nightbird... I worked yesterday until 11 pm and I will be revising the translation today, probably the whole afternoon. No work for me tomorrow... maybe.

[Edited at 2013-11-03 11:43 GMT] It's the same with me, Teresa. I end my work day when I'm done. | |
