4 AM: Wake up take shower, start walking to airport
4:30 AM: Go to sleep in lay-z-boy recliner
10:00 AM: Wake up and surf the internet until 12:30 PM
Off duty to do what I want until 4 AM the next day when I have to get up again.
If they call me to work, which happens 4 to 6 times per month, I'll actually have to shave and get dressed and work for up to 12 hours. Fortunately it doesn't happen often.

Please, don't tell me you're an air traffic controller
Sounds like a very strange job. I assume you walk to the airport, get there and then go to sleep in a recliner? What do you do when you actually have to work?

Oh, the exciting life of a banker. /sarcasm
By chance, do you work at a Wells Fargo? I used to work at Ocotillo Corporate Center down in Chandler, AZ. I know that even tellers at Wells Fargo start out with 20 days (4 weeks) of PTO each year. Good stuff!

Mine is so easy. I am a security guard who works in an office building overnights.
10:30 PM: I arrive at work. I set up my laptop computer at my desk. I "work" by myself and literally have no duties throughout the night. I just sit and play on the internet all night. I am at work right now.
6 AM: The office workers start arriving. I greet them as they come in.
6:30 AM: Time to go home.
Pros: Totally easy and no stress. I am one lazy SOB so it is the perfect job for me.
Cons: Low pay, no benefits......regardless, I can accept it as I would hate to actually have to work to make more. I could not deal with any of the stress of the jobs that other posters have described.
Time is mostly irrelevant where I work, so I won't break it down that way
Up @ 5:30, gym @ 6.
Get to work around 7:45, say hello to our receptionist and maybe a pilot or two.
Clock in @ 8.
OH NOES the actuator is busted on the thrust reversers of a transient aircraft! Spend 2 hours trying to find a new/used/rental. Find one. Pilot/owner changes his mind. 2 hours wasted.
Get yelled at for 20 minutes about something that had absolutely nothing to do with me. Boss figures it out and walks away without apologizing.
Plane is about to leave but pilot can't find his tie. Rummage through upstairs storage area to find new tie. Find tie. Go downstairs to give tie to pilot, find out pilot found tie and has already left. Nobody bothered to tell me. Half hour wasted.
Detailers complain that their new cleaning solutions is 'not concentrated enough', get on phone with vendor and complain. Propeller is having issues on the KingAir. Need to order parts? Maybe. We'll tell you right after the deadline for AOG overnight has passed, even though we've known about it for hours. Then, we'll blame it on you when the parts don't come in on time. Not so secretly, the mechanics want to go home early tomorrow, so they purposely order parts a little too late so they don't come in on time.
LUNCH with the ladies. The only normal part of the day.
After lunch, get new tires for the tug(s), pick up coffee that a certain customer HAS TO HAVE, buy a fifth of Johnny Walker black for boss, champagne cups for company event next month, BevMo loves me.
Try to find new stamps for the accounting dept., fuel nozzles on the KingAir need to be sent in to be pressure checked, Eddy Current needs to be performed on one of our wheels, stock order needs to be made, RMAs need to be filled out and we've got a new contract that I 'need to go over' for our parts ordering with Hawker/Beechcraft. Meeting with a new vendor, dealing with old ones, answering emails, entering invoices, answering questions about money and time for shipping, sending my hazmat records to the FAA.
Then....it's home. Take the dogs for a walk along the estuary, make a decent dinner and then sleep at around 9ish.
I love my job
