How many hours a weekday/weekend do you spend outside?
Where are you from?
What do you do for a living?

edit: At work, do you have access to a window?

About 20 hours a week, now that it's summer and, of course, I have a backyard. I'm usually a shut-in between November and April.

I work at costco. For the 5-6 days a week I work... dunno, the 10min I spend outside getting in/out of my car. No windows exactly, but the building has a lot of skylights.

Days off vary, but would up it to 20/30min give or take outside, depending

Depending on the work I need to do, I can be outside from just 30 mins, to being outside up to a full 8 hour shift (Like this last week doing brush cutting, fire season sucks). Weekend I tend to stay inside but will go out occasionally.

Only a couple on a normal day. Desk jobs suck. I wanna be a park ranger when I grow up.

I'm not from anywhere. Longest I've ever lived anywhere in my life is 5 years.

Mostly just the time it takes to get to and from my car. I honestly can't think of any time in the last week where I've purposely gone outside and stayed there for any extended period of time.
I'm from Oklahoma City. It has basically been raining or superfuckinghumid for the last month.
I wait tables, and I work as an intern at an ad agency. At the restaurant I have access to windows, but I don't really ever utilize it. At the agency, the space I work in is basically a corner of the office that consists of 2 giant windows.

On weekdays I work at a child care center where we normally spend about 2-3 hours with my class outside. (During the summer at least, weather permitting) Weekends I normally stay inside, with the exception of my half-marathon training runs that'll keep me out for a few hours whenever I get off couch enough to do them.

Born, raised, and still living in a suburb of Chicago.

My job managing a child care center has plenty of windows in each room.

Varies. Between 20 minutes and 2 hours a day, depending on if they're making us PT outside that day. Today, for instance, I was outside running for about an hour and ten minutes.

I am from everywhere, but currently reside in Fort Worth, TX.

I am an aviation electrician. I used to work the flightline but now I work on individual componants that go into C-130s and F-18s, such as actuators, light assemblies, wire harnesses, cabling, and pretty much anything that has a wire going to it.

I do not have windows in my shop. I actually do not recall a shop I have worked in that had windows at all. I do not feel that I am missing much as the outdoors is highly overrated.
