Subject:Re: Questions about the work day for the Whirlers From:Kate Schneider <kateschneider42 -at- gmail -dot- com> To:Michele Glover <MGlover -at- maxcessintl -dot- com> Date:Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:12:51 -0700
I'll play too!
1. When does everyone get up in the morning for work?
I get up anywhere between 7 and 8. Today was 8:20 because I didn't sleep
last night and I still got to work earlier than usual somehow... a commute
miracle!
2. If you drive to an office, how many miles is your commute?
17 miles. SoCal traffic means I might be driving for 15 minutes or 45, but
I get to look at pretty flowers and the Pacific Ocean while I wait in
traffic, so that's ok with me.
3. How long is your work day?
I usually work about 8 hours a day, with my hours depending on when I
arrive at work (depending on that pesky traffic) but it's quite flexible.
It will be longer hours when we approach product release; it's sometimes
shorter in the summer. As others have said, it's nice that I can come in a
little late or leave a little early if I have to... as long as I get my
work done, everyone is happy.
