30-50 depending on my motivation and energy level.

I can do more if I want---pretty much set my own schedule--but lately haven't had the stamina.

I was working 70-80 hours/week at a fairly steady rate for awhile, but it got old quickly. What good is all the money when you don't have free time to spend it?

I work a 40 if not on call, now i have had so much OT before I lost count and didnt care anymore. If a storm comes thru we have worked allday/night, next day/night and get off right before the sun comes up again. Granted thats when a hurricane hit our system and we couldnt get any help in for a few days.

This past year it has been tough to make 37.5 which is what my salary is based on. Last year and the year before 55 to 70 per week was not uncommon. I'm on the same salary mind you with no paid OT or anything of that sort.

I look at this year as pay back.

Not enough hours so can't afford to fly anymore, Florida been in a slump for 2 years before it hit everyone else, don't know why but it sucks.

We were in bad times and then when it hit else where, they couldn't afford to spend money in Florida for vat cation so even less money to pass around in the area.

Then since everyone was in bad shape the state raised all our licenses by half the price to make sure we really get screwed
