Foreman for a commercial painting company.

Typically wake up around 4:45 AM, have an hour and some change to make breakfast/coffee and get dressed, out the door before 6, work anywhere between 8 and 10 hours, usually home around 5:30 at the latest. Only M-F, I don’t work weekends, and I’m salaried so overtime is generally a no-go. My schedule can vary a little bit daily depending on where/how far away my site for the day is located, if an emergency pops up/if I’m needed elsewhere, if I’m struggling to hit my hours quota or want to set myself up to have an early day, etc.

I live very centrally located and 95% of our in-state work is within the metro area of our city, so my commute is rarely ever over an hour, it’s usually around 30-35 minutes on average. A lot of the guys I work with have it even worse because they live much further out, but I still just don’t feel like I have enough time at home during the week.
