Yep, I work in the public service in Darwin and that’s the standard opening hours for heaps of places around here. It’s 3:04pm now and I’m watching the clock for another 77 minutes till it’s home time.
I’m currently in a Gov department in Melbourne, Australia. My training times for the last couple of weeks were 8:30 to 4:51, so same amount of time just shifted 30 mins. Seems to be fairly standard for government departments in Aus, something about 147 working hours per month or something.
I’ve worked in the government and I understand entirely. They’re actually likely done at 4:30, but don’t accept new enquiries after 4:21, giving them 9 minutes to wrap up what they’re working on. They probably changed the sign because they had too many asshats coming in and demanding service at 4:29.
Tired of 4:20 jokes?
It takes a minute to roll a quality spliff, dontchaknow
Well it would have looked suspiscious if they had left before 4:20. 🙂
yeah I think the boss did this on purpose to make the stoners stay one minute too late 😛
I think this is the first sign I have seen on this site that really is “oddly specific”
I wonder if they have a 21 minute lunch break.
Your tax dollars not at work all day.
They have a work week of exactly 41 hours 45 minutes.

not quite. this photo was taken in Darwin, NT Australia. Standard public service hours – you forgot lunch breaks of 45 mins each day. 38 hour week.

Hmm…middle and high schools in the local public school system start at exactly 7:36 a.m…….specific much?
Sputnik is correct – definitely Darwin, NT.
