I tend to stay late as well if need be. It's much faster working when everyone's gone home (although the helpdesk stuff you can't necessarily do, but that's what makes it quicker.)

I hate working past 5 but its true you do get more work done if you work late. I hate having people bothering me during the day with phone calls from clients. When they phone speaking to them actually prevents me from doing their work but they are just too stupid to realise.

i work till 6 every day and from 5 - 6 is when i do the most productive work because theres less idiots around to talk to me and ask me how to do things that they should know how to do.

I'd like to set up my own company at some point so I wouldn't have to work with fools. I am helping to train a junior member of staff at the moment and its painful!

I can legally work for 5 hours a day without a break if I want. I usually have one though. Flexitime rocks, although I normally end up doing more hours than I'm paid for.

eh? the whole point of flexitime is that you build it up and then can use the time for days off and stuff. so its technically impossible to work more hours than you are paid overall.....

Yeah, but I don't like leaving a job unfinished. I may at some point have a couple of days off with the time I've accumulated.

I think most of Local Government workers are on Flexi. I've only recently found out what i've gathered has to be used in a time frame. Now i'm starting to think that reading the staff handbook was a good idea after all..

Makes up for the rubbish pay.. ;)

sounds just like being a university employee. if i wasn't in public service, i could have flex-time like the tech service people in my library. the pay sucks, but the flex-time, benefits, and odd holidays make up for it.
