      Very variable. In disaster relief, you work all the hours you can stay awake because normal labour laws don’t apply, and you learn to sleep almost anywhere. But a “regular” week might see me working around 50 to 60 hours depending on the situation. The United Nations doesn’t like people working on half days. . . . . .

      My regular week is four days, 10 hours each. But if its busy I do overtime on the weekend or stay late.

      I normally work 7 or 8 hours a day. Although on Fridays I like to finish early and probably do more like 6.
