Typical Playing Day?
Renatus:
Welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood. ;D
I pretty much can only play for three or four hours once or twice a week. I attend an immersive language class from 9 am-3 pm on weekdays, and spend the hours afterwards doing assorted chores, writing, homework for the class, teasing the cat, cooking, and spending what time I can with my husband when our schedules allow (about two hours a day before bed. Wah!). I'd love to play more games but I'm not even getting enough sleep as it is and I have to spend time on exercising or my joints do really nasty things to me, and I'm not even 30 yet.
Witches:
I'm married, work 32 - 40 hours a week and have a child who is 8 years old, so most of my playing is at night. My husband is a baker, gets up before the dawn and is in bed before dark. The kid's bedtime is sometime around 9, which leaves me until 1 in the morning to play my little heart out.
At which point I have to go to bed if I'm to function at all at work the next day.
Sometimes I get lucky and can play during the day too. If everyone else is busy doing something that makes them happy I sneak off to the computer ... I've got competition from my kid, though, because she's a simsaholic herself, plus she likes to get on the Internet and play at Kim Possible.com.
Muisie:
Good luck, IridescentKerry! Never bet on more than 1 hour a day. If it's longer, enjoy! If it's shorter, join the club. There's always the weekend. And vacation days, holidays . . . and sick days. Hey, at least you're making money so you can afford upgrades and expansion packs.

Congratulations on your graduation and new position :)
I work from 7:30-between4:00&6:00 depending on what's up. Generally I get to play an hour or 2 (or a bit more) a night (depending on how late I'm willing to stay up, and what other obligations I have) and several on weekends. I can come here and read a bit or post a bit during lunch for a kind of fix.
I don't watch tv much, but I do occasionally do a few other things, usually when I'm a bit less addicted than I am right now (it comes and goes). I don't get as much done in the game as I'd like to, but then I wouldn't if I played 24/7 either ;)
sagana and I are apparently living parallel lives ;). I work 8-5, 40 hours a week and all the various duties that being a mother of 2 includes. I get to play around an hour or two at night after everyone is taken care of for the day and depending upon how tired I am (or how annoyed my husband appears to be at seeing me on the computer "again" :-\). Sometimes I get 4-5 hours on the weekends, usually staying up til the wee hours to get my play time. And I have to admit that it's really hard to pull the plug during the weeknights when I'm in the midst of a storyline.....like staying up til 1 a.m. last night because it seemed imperative to get Meadow Thayer to break off her engagement with Joe Carr so that she could be with George McCarthy, after all, she IS pregnant with his baby! ;D

. . . my husband seems to feel he will implode if I'm on the computer and he's awake and at home (he is REALLY not good at entertaining himself). . . .
He sounds like my husband!
I work from 8-4:30 p.m., which puts me home about 5 p.m. I try to get at least 1/2 hour workout in before I start on supper. By the time supper is cooked, eaten, and cleaned up after, it's usually after 7 p.m. I sit with the hubby for about an hour (give or take), then off to sims I go 'til at least 11 p.m.
