If you want to compare working hours, don't come knocking over here. A normal work day for me is 12 hours. During hurricaine season, when a storm makes landfall and causes a lot of power outages and structural damage, I'll be working 16 hour days, 7 days a week until everything is fixed. Last year, I had almost 4 months straight like that. The pay is RIDICULOUS during that time, which is the only motivation to keep going.
