  Controller for a company in Strongsville, normally work 8-5

  Christ dont get her going. She already can't go 5 posts without say "hubby" or mentioning her husband as is. If she starts a wedding picture thread, its your fault.

  So that's why you need MLB network. To help fill in those other 65 hours!

  I'm an energy lawyer at a biglaw firm.
  
  I don't really work standard hours, though I'm generally here during business hours and am always on-call. On a typical day, I'm in the office around 8.30a, and if I work through lunch and eat at my desk, I leave here around 6.30p. I play with my son until he goes to bed, and then work an hour or two from home in the evening. I work a few hours on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons probably twice a month, but I try to do it while son/wife are napping. Depending on how busy things are, I typically work 55-65 hours/week. The bigger thing is that I don't really get vacation--60hrs/week isn't bad, but when it's never-ending (no vacation in my first four years here, unlikely to take one soon), it starts to wear you down after awhile.

  Well when you're making ~5 mil a year like my brother in law who's an FCC lawyer for Willkie, those hours will be worth it.

  Too bad I get no cell phone signal on the ship and our internet is like dial up. But I feel ya!

  Kidding. Working that much and not having vacation is bunk. I work those 50-60 hour weeks, but I also get ~4 weeks of vacation.
  
  BTW, was up in Milwaukee last weekend visiting (and getting 5 pounds of sausage from the Usinger's seconds table, and gorging myself at Kopp's...). If you like art and haven't been to the new outsider art exhibition at the museum I'd recommend it. Some odd stuff for sure, but really interesting.

  I work 60-70 hours a week. I've got my regular desk job as a Financial analyst, and then I do some freelance Financial work when I get home. I make good money and I like what I do.

  Then every other Friday I am off with my working Friday 6 - 2:30.

  I guess I technically get unlimited vacation, but no one actually takes any. It's just not possible. Maybe a week or so a year as people get more senior and have more flexibility in their schedules (read as: more ability to push things down to others). We'll see.
  
  Next time you're in MKE, drop me a line, and we can grab a beer or something. It's a great city, especially in the summer.

  Major options are (1) switch over to a gov't job (I've twice been approached about and declined to pursue political appointments--politics are too volatile right now in WI to take the risk); (2) go in-house at a company (more like 40-45 hrs/wk with real vacation, but lower salary and lower salary options, so no opportunities to make millions); or (3) go be a high school football coach, which is what I really want to do. Student loans are almost gone, so we'll see . . .

  I like option 3. The government and in house lawyers are for the birds.

  I work M-F 8-5. Work weekends at a tree farm if I feel like it. If not I can skip it. I used to work 10's where I am now when I worked in the factory (2:30-1am.) Loved the money and the work, hated not having a life. I'm in the office now as an accountant, and can't complain about a decent schedule. They're going to pay for my schooling so I'll call it a win.

  
  I work at Toledo Refining Company (which is owned by PBF Energy) formely the Sun Oil refinery (Sunoco). The one way out in Oregon is BP. Technically we stradle the east side and Oregon, but majority of our refinery is in Oregon (at least all the offices are).

  just saying, if its like the army, you dont always do hands on training. will you spend every weekend on a ship? many times we would come in for drill and spend 2 days watching sexual assault or alcohol power points or some other simple training that leads up to the one weekend to come and do real training.
