I only have to work from Monday to Friday and have a 2 day weekend. One of my friends has a job with in the travel industry and she has to work some weekends. [vegegirl]
happyhave a two day weekend is always my dream. i envy you. [sophialin]


I guess I work 7 days a week, but only for about an hour a day, have to love being able to work at home on the internet. While this might sound really good, it is very lonely, so I go and do some other work occasionally just to get out and be with people. During the day all my friends are at work so I am alone during the day. [darkblueverbatim]
yes my friend,i admit that a free and comfort way to work at home but you have to go out occasionally to touch people. [sophialin]



no,i at work from monday to sunday,seven days every week,i often go to my job to have a interent in night,because i always have nothing to do in the night,and it will give me a lot of fun in the internet [fwangaa]
i think it's better to sleep early at night.but actually me too,hang out on internet until late night. if internet is not available at night,i'll watch tv in bed which is also an enjoyment. i wonder what do you do? since you have a seven-day work.it's much too tired. [sophialin]


Nice profile picture. Hi friend, i completed my degree. Now i am waiting for results. Next week i am going to join another course. So i don't have any work now. But within one year i will become an employee. I like to work from monday to friday. Thanks [ajesh_pullad]
in fact,chinese government allows us to have two-day rest days per week,but i work at a private company and have to work on Saturday. what about your country? [sophialin]



Are you in a private work? I work 5 days a week officially being my own boss but Saturday unofficially, Sunday is exclusively for God. [ebookyoung]

I have only five day per week, but also I love to work in weekends, I always work in weekends but my job profile is different, I looking for work that help to start my business :) [hiteshrup]

Work is a four letter word and should be avoided at all costs lol. Seriously though, I am retired and the only work I do is being on the world wide web every day. There is so much on the web, it is like being in a large library that is never shut. Have a great day from Deeekyhappy [deeeky]

For me five and half working and one and half free in every week. [ganthsumitha]

One of the problems about being self employed is that there's rarely time off. I *did* take a couple of days for a mini-vacation recently but for the most part I just work when work needs to be done. Often that's all 7 days but I like the work so it's not a stress or anything. happy [katiedoubleu]

I work 5 days a week with 2 days off.happy [bestie]

Hello my friend sophialin Ji, As a retired person , I am always free to work as per my choice of time/days. There is no bindings for me and restrictions. have a nice time. [chintoo07]

My Husband works Tuesday to Sunday so that's six days a week like you! I work three days a week because that is all I can handle with my son! ~Heavens~ [heavenschild]
Well kind of only we don't have much time together! ~Heavens~ [heavenschild]


I am currently a college student so my work schedule is tailored around my school schedule. Currently I only work two to three days a week. I usually only work 2-5 hours everyday. With school and work I really dont have anydays (accept sundays since my work isnt open that day) that Im not doing something. I dont mind having something to do everyday though, it keeps me busy and not bored. [oscar6]

Hi, we work 5-days from Mondays to Fridays; however I sometimes have to work on weekends, and I get to take a day off the following day. I don't enjoy working on weekends, though. [lazeebee]

Hi sophia I work one day a week Cleaning now it used to be full time but due to illness now am unable to work but hope to in the not too distant future..littleowl [littleowl]

Officially I work from Monday to Saturdays with 2 Saturdays off a month. Unofficially it's 7 days a week. I am still praying for the day I could have 2 paid free days every week. I would have 2-day free per week on the 2 Saturdays I am off or when I took leave for 2 days in a row. :P [whyaskq]

I work 7 days per week I work 3 jobs 1 my full time job mon-fri with ot then I work parking cars for concerts & Hockey team then I work for a balloonn company that decorates for parties etc so thats my 3 jobs that is not counting the internet jobs that I found maybe when I retire I can make these sites really work for me now I just have to work them in between jobs but they are find a lot of stuff to read this one is my favorite because you don't have to write a long article well it's almost 1:30 now now I need to go to my part-time job number 2 worked the full time one this morning have a good day everyone [creationsbysusie]

I'm in the same situation as you with the monday through saturday and last sunday I got called in so I'm ending a 13 day strtch today hopefully. I know one thing i won't answer the phone if they call [benreid84]
I think caller ID is a heaven sent option. My work tried to call me the other day. I thought they might be wanting me to work, so I did not answer. Those long stretches really do wear you out. [GardenGerty]


I usually work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, as long as I have some appointments each day. Sometimes, I have no appointments on Monday. On Wednesdays, I spend time with my mother. On Fridays, I clean my house and run errands. So, I usually have the two days of the weekend free every week, with an occasional Monday free as well. But, I never get bored or feel like I have nothing to do. In fact, it's quite the opposite. In my "spare" time, I write articles for the internet, which keeps me busy, especially with the upfront research that I often do for those articles. I need more time! [PearlGrace]

I only work part time, so I have two evenings free some weeks, always Sunday, unless I volunteer to work for someone else, and every other Saturday. I need more work, but they do not have the hours for me right now. [GardenGerty]

I do only work M-F, but if I had wanted to I could've gone on Sat or Sun as well, but I couldn't have more than 25 hours. I work around times I spend with my mother so, while I only work 3.5 hours on Wed, it is my longest day because I spend 3-4 hours with my mom in the middle of that 3.5 hours. I work 6 hours on Monday and Friday, 5 on Tuesday, 3.5 on Wednesday and 4.5 on Thursday. [ElicBxn]

happyright now im not working full time..but when i was.. i ask my employer that during saturdays i work hafl days only..so that i can be with my family since my husband's work is monday to friday only..and she granted..and i really appreciated it.. [vanities]

i work 5 1/2 days in a week monday till half day of thursday.i got a day off thursday till friday. but my hubby working just 4 1/2 days half dayin thursday and friday & saturday his rest day. [Ohara_1983]

I work 7 days a week being a full time mum but, as for paid work, I have a job which takes up a few hours over one or two days per week. I am also a writer so that can take up varying amounts of time depending on what I am writing. Some weeks I write every day, other weeks, I might not write at all. It is good that I can choose my own hours but I am currently under pressure to write 4 separate articles in the next 6 days and I have "writer's block". So, anyway, I get one day a week "off" from my children but that is the day I have to do my paid work. Depending on how you look at it, I get anywhere between none and six days off! [pumpkinjam]

I'm at work from mon to sun.. But only, 4 hrs each time.. lol =D That's y i can be in mylot most of the time during the afternoons and not around during the evenings.. hehe =D Though i'm working 7 days a week, but it's still quite flexible as i'm allowed to schedule my time, and thus i'm comfortable with it ^_^ [kun2349]

I have to work from Monday to Friday. And then I have to work on Saturday morning and I will start my days off from Saturday afternoon. I hope I can have two days off work so that I will have more spare time. I love China [youless]

six days a week. But can a woman take rest on the 7th day? we have more work to do on Sundays.The work kept pending during the office going days. [daffodil1949]

On an average I work only 4 days per week. I only work part-time and always have Sundays off. My average is 25 hours per week. Some weeks I am only scheduled 3 days which is nice because that gives me 4 days off total for the week. I probably work 1 Saturday per month which I really like because the rest of my family is off on the weekends. If I had the choice I would rather just work 3-10 hour days and have the 4 days off. [ryzach]

I am also a regular worker here in Kuwait as a Supervisor in the Shuwaikh Port Authority and I always have 24 hours duty at work and so i always have 2 days off in a regular day and one day of work so in a week it is 4 days of off within 6 days of working days...... [iyah10]

I work from home. As well as being a wife and mom. So I work 7 days a week. No real down time for me. Unless you count mylot. lol [ersmommy1]

I am a stay at home mome so I work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There are always dishes to be done, dinner to cook, kids to take places and even when you are sleeping you never know when you are going to have a child come in I'm sick so it is a 24 hour job. [luvstochat]

Hi there sophialin! I work from Monday to Saturday. That makes it six days every week. My only free day is Sunday. Well, I also get to enjoy other free days if and when it falls on a holiday. Like tomorrow is a holiday here so this coming week, I will only have to work 5 days and that is from Tuesday to Saturday. True, having to work for six days can be tiring but I guess I would prefer that than being unemployed. happy [dolce_vita78]

I really don't. I am a homemaker and I am always doing things. My daughter is off weekends from school and my husband is off Wednesday and Thursday nights. So I always have something going on everyday of the week. It might not be going to a job but it is work. [Ruthep]

It depends, because I am a substitute teacher, so I work as needed. I usually work 4 to 5 days a week, but sometimes it is less. [kellys3ps]

I am self employed in acouple of different areas. I don't have traditional shift hours so basically I work 7 days a week in one capacity or another. But since my time is very flexible I can take off whenever I want to for as many days as I want to. I have management levels for both my companies and it is not necessary for me to always participant in the day to day running of the companies. [relundad]

Hi sophialin, I'm retired now, but when I was working it was usually five days a week. Sometimes when we were really busy I would work on Saturday or even Sunday. Blessings. [Pose123]

My husband has his own company so we only work one day a week. Alot of people freak out when they learn this, but it's the truth and it pays all the bills and so much more. [Ina926]

I'm a stay at home mom, so I will be work seven days a week. No free days off to spare. [lynnchua]

I works Tuesday to sunday that is six days a week while i work, the only day is Monday that is Holiday in which i stay at home and take rest [bkajit]

I am self-employed and tend to work every day - maybe not the whole day through if I get finished what I need to get done. When I used to work for an employer, I remember being told that if I worked for myself, I would work harder - and I guess it's true. :-) [derek_a]

I work Mondays to Saturdays on my real job while on my online job I work Mondays to Fridays only. [joyadalia]

I work Mondays to Saturdays on my real job while on my online job I work Mondays to Fridays only. [joyadalia]

i work out of my house monday thru friday. but once i get home then i am working online. so i am always working. i am talking care of my family and working my butt off at the same time. [34momma]

Hi sophialin, I work four days a week for my part time work, so I still could enjoy my three free days per week. I have my part time work in two different offices. One is on Tuesday and Thursday whereas the other is on Wednesday and Friday. The office of the first job is rather far away from my house so I need to take a twenty five minute drive to reach there. The office of the other is quite near to my place and I could reach there only spending a four minutes drive. Anyways I prefer the second one as the pay is rather higher and the environment there is much better. happy posting and have a nice day. [lkbooi]

While I am not technically employed, I do make a pretty good amount of money on line. I "work" where and when I can get internet access. Right now I am "working" at The Second cup, just up the street from my home. I am using their internet access to earn money on line from the various websites that I visit. [danishcanadian]

I work from Monday to Friday. We are off on Saturdays and Sundays. I am working in a government office thats why. [bagumbayan]

I tend to work maybe 4-5 days a week depending on if another store needs an extra staff. I normally am off Tuesday, Thursday and either Friday or Saturday. I prefer working 5 days a week but then I cant grumble at having 3 days off so I dont mind either way!! I dont think I would be able to cope working 6 days every week, I would be worn out and will need a day to recuperate!!! [cinderella2007]

I too am a working woman with daily working of eight hours six days a week. Here in india there is no such concept of two days free. I think it should not be too as we have already got too many holidays in the form of festivals and natinal holidays. [limcyjain]

I work Monday to Friday 8:30 to 4:30. I really enjoy my Saturdays and Sundays however i occasionally will take work home with me to catch up on. When i waitressed I hated only having one day to do things and then having to go back right away. [saundyl]

hi, i work 7 days a week, 8 hours a day on average, actually 13 hours away from home. and i'm doing this for over 6 months. still, i survive. it's a miracle. [gabbana]

Officially I work from Monday to Friday, and Friday being a half-day work day, that is, work ends at 2pm because I need some free time on Fridays. However, I find myself going back to do some more work Saturdays and even Sundays when I want to and when I just have too much on plate to deal with. [nickventere]

i worked 40 hours a week 8 hours a day. Saturday and Sunday are my day off. so happy with this set up... :-) [bubblyapple]

I work five days a week officially, but I also put in a couple of hours on saturday. [duranv]

i work 5 days a week- monday to friday. off on weekends happy [kevsgirlalways]

I work 8 days in the week I mean all day man. [kisanchhantyal]

I am a substitute teacher I don't have certain days I work. I work when they need me. Last school year I worked Monday through Friday, but now I am lucky to work three days a week or any for that matter. [lovespecialangel]

I usually work 5 days a week,but sometimes that can be a weekend day. I like having the weekends off and I would like to think that I could get a job that would allow that. This week I am working 5 nights and next week since the company is cutting hours, I think that I am working 4 days and I do have Saturday off but I have to work on Sunday. [carolscash]

I usually work Monday through Saturday as well, but Saturday is a short shift of only 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, then I have off the rest of the day and all day Sunday. Once in awhile I will get a Saturday off, and once in awhile I will get one other day off during the week, so I work only 5 days a week sometimes, but it's usually 6 for me also. [Bethany1202]

I work 5 days per week and have 2 days rest. I think you must work for a private company. [billzeng]
yes bill,i work in a private company. what worse is i even don't rest on mid-Autumn festival.as you know,it's Sunday and we havn't another rest day other than 14 Sep which is the rest day without the festival. [sophialin]


i work 5 days and 2 days free. [thundercai]

well technicially, my govenment has implemented the 5 day work week, however it is not really practiced because of efficiency.Rather its 5 and a hald to 6 days of work a week.Sure, they would state it as 5 days compulsory however, if you work exactly five days and do not put in extra effort, you will be on top of the black list for firing should the company do badly, you will also be at the bottom of the list for promotions. [soccnut]

I have trouble finding even 1 to 2 days of work a week sometimes. It's hard to find jobs for most people here in Illinois right now. We need at least 7,000 more jobs in my city to make it alright. I work at a temporary labor place when they have work for me, but that it usually only 2 days a week. [faithnomoread]
