in reply to What time do you think geeks should have to get to work?

Becuase everybody else told his story, I will do to

Maybe I'm a weird guy but I have a nice girlfriend who has a job from 9 to 5 and is at home from 6. Well if I would work odd hours I wouldn't have time to spend with her.
So I sleep a little bit longer but I still get in at work between 9 and 10 in the morning and leave against 6 in the evening.
This is very important to keep our relation intact! I can't believe that there are peolpe with reltions that can work these odd hours.

Maybe somebody can proof I'm wrong


My opinions may have changed,
but not the fact that I am right

    I have twin boys that are not yet two. I usually get to work between 6 and 7am and leave by 3pm. It is easier if I'm gone before the boys get up and it gives me lots of time with them in the evening. It also lets me spend less time in traffic. I also work from home about 2 days per week. If I had to work 9-5 I'd spend an extra hour in traffic each day and would only see my boys an hour in the morning (which would primarilly consist of them screaming for me while I tried to leave) and an hour in the evening.

    So flexible time is essential for my relationships.

    Toadi, you are not wierd. A loved one is the best reason for working "normal" hours. It does help.
