I'm a web developer. I work at a company with around 100 employees. I started about 3 months ago and I'm very good at my job. I make lots of people happy on a regular basis because I get stuff done quickly and reliably. I come in at 8 and leave at 5 with an hour lunch. I work after hours when I have a vision or brainstorm and need to pound something out or if I need to talk to one of our offices in another time-zone.

My question to the community is this: How many "personal hours" or "flex hours" do you take in a week and is your boss OK with that?

I spend the majority of my week working on projects that have been logged in a project managment system online. I work on my personal laptop because the one they gave me is ghetto. I'm the only developer so I don't have to talk to anyone to get my work done. Can't I do this from home? What do you think is a reasonable in-office schedule for someone in my position?
