What is your average work week?

[Chief Rum]

I don't know that it's fair for me to note I work 50+ hours, because that happens because I work two jobs. I think the spirit of it was for one job.

But, in any case, my two jobs puts me at usually around 60 hours per week. One job is a strictly 40 hour office job, where they haven't allowed us OT in some time. The other job is a loose scheduling server job where you stay on until you're no longer needed, more or less. So I'll work anywhere from 15-25 hours there.

That's the 3rd time I've heard/read that in the last 73 hours.

I do a straight 40, only more on very rare occasions. Unusual for a lawyer, but my pay is unusually low for a lawyer. But it's a great trade-off, especially in a part of the country where your money goes a long way.

It'll probably mean a lot of work getting it up and running and then keeping it afloat, but it's never been hard work that has bothered me...just spinning my wheels.

Good luck. That is exciting. I'm seriously considering going the solo route once my current contract runs out. Administration is very exciting, but it is frustrating at times too (today was a particularly annoying day.)
