At the Fish processing plants in Alaska you work 7 days a week for 12 hours a day....many times 16-18 hours a day... under contract for a total of at least 1500 hours......
I only work 20hrs a week, but when being a single mum your job doesn't stop there. House duties as well as outside work. Being winter i have a extra job, cutting wood and still learning to sharpen my chainsaw. Such is life.
Depends on what you mean :P, I'm a single mom too, but I also have a job with on call hours and offer my free time once a week to shop for seniors I know in my community.
As a caregiver (my official paying gig) I work 25 regular hours wkly, been on call a lot with a hospice client for an extra 30 hours wkly, spend 2 hours a week shopping for elderly who can't hire me, I do about 3 hrs of school work a day and do everything around the house and out side of it on my days off while being a mom.
Soooo.... I feel like I work about 130 hours a week. how about you?
Fortunately, i've been retired for going on five year now, and digging it. I do volunteer maybe four-hours a week at a cancer research center/hospital. Does that count?
I work (according to my pay packet) 38.5 hrs but in reality I think I work about 32 hrs a week, because each day we have 4 breaks which total 85mins...

I am self employed so I dont know the amount of hours I work a week I do know that sometimes I get over worked as my profession requires me to travel all over my country and it can be exhausting sometimes
Let say Bob works 25 hours a day. He sleeps 5 hours a day. His other activities, like dinner with a lady, lunch with his friends, get trapped in traffic congestion, take shower, etc etc, take 5 hours daily. Sooo... in his world Bob lives 35 hours per day.
Now let assume that there are 365 days per year and Bob now is 43 years old. This means Bob has lived for 549,325 hours.
If this is converted to the TIME in my world which has only 24 hours a day for all activities
