"The 9[am] to 5[pm]" is a common term for one's regular job, on the basis that normal people start work at 09:00 and finish at 17:00. I've worked a few jobs and closest I've ever gotten to this is 08:00 to 17:00, which I gather is standard.

Are there real jobs where people actually start at 9 and finish at 5?

Usually 8am to 5 30 or 6pm for me.

We are supposed to record 9 hours of work on our timesheet daily. Sometimes there isnt enough work but then you just do goals or organize shit or read some how to's. I hate those days. I like being busy.

It is long days though. A 6 hour day would be fantastic but I'd get nothing done. Today, I spent 4 hours opening a program on several different remote PCs because it kept crashing.
