0840 arrive, start working
1320-1330 lunch / fresh air
1815 go home

What 'working' entails is role-specific and not at all boring if you like what you're doing. Generally doing something different every day at least, typically working on 2-3 projects at once, typically 50/40/10 technical / writing / client stuff. This is my day at a private consultancy btw.

Council/RTA/Railcorp would look more like this:

0910 arrive
0930 start work
1200-1315 lunch
1655 go home

60/20/20 technical / red tape / paper airplanes.


When i worked in construction eng it was more like:

0630 arrive
0700 start not working
1200-1300 a certain part of not working where you eat food
1600 finish not working

with a mix of 70/20/10 not working / marveling at the stupidity of construction workers / playing in the mud
