What's wrong with a 5PM finish? Our office hours were 9-5. Typically we were all out the door very close to 5pm. maybe 5 or 6 times over the course of 3 years I was there until 6 or after and one of those times was because I was the last one out the door and my car would not start

I did have the flexibility to take work home with me if needed and could work from home from time to time. My main job was basically 9-5 but of course I did not stop there, at the time I was really into it and would work on other projects at home either for money, for work or just because I wanted to. For about 3 years my day was 12-14 hours on average during the week and another 10-20 hours over the weekend. After I left there I started working for myself so the hours were all over the place. For support I needed to be available 9-5 M-F but for my project work I did more in the evenings and at night than any other time.
