On the thankfully rare occasions I'm on the bakery at work, it is 4000% flat out with 80 different things all the time.
I leave on time every day though unless there is a major shit-storm (which are not really my area any more), but have to work through lunch probably once a week.

Football is rubbish.
To fill the rest of the day I'll be putting a new top E on my Les Paul. Phew.
currently in Malaga, at company HQ. So, very busy.
There are two of us in our department and that's only really because it's IT and holidays would be impossible with only one person! Also the IT "Manager" makes it his mission to ensure nothing is the departments responsibility.
Doesn't suit my work ethic at all and I hate it here, but the working hours allow me loads more time to spend with my wife and son than previous jobs, so I put up with it for now!
lol.
Based on an eight hour day, five days a week, I've been somewhere around 150% since January. Some of that is admin and proper filing and dealing with contracts and invoicing rather than actually doing my job as such, but all of it is part of the task.
The last time i did office based OT was at some point in 2011. So I guess it can't be that bad.
However, if I go abroad then I don't really leave the office ie. In at 7:30am leaving sometime around 9pm with breaks for lunch and dinner, as there isn't really much else to do when on biz trips. At least it makes time go quick.
I live 10 mins from the office, so no commute. I miss the traffic because of my hours. And I get to spend a decent amount of time with the wife and kids when I get in.
I despise what I do, but it pays the bills, and currently suits my lifestyle. I've absolutely killed my career prospects though.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I work in building maintenance. Start at 06.30 ,finish at 19.20 on Days.

It's a bit busy.
I am busy, but don't feel busy, although I surf the net a bit, I don't really talk, I start early and finish late.

Most of the time I'm pretty busy, just the way I like it, it very dull otherwise
Some of my co-workers would not know work if it landed on them though - workshy fuckers!
