Most of the responses you're going to get are pretty bias so I'll just go ahead and start:

Atlanta is super fun and you have a great ATM over there :)

General Discussion / Re: Push and start at pilots discretion in USA

They're also controlling non-movement areas which fall outside the control of a ground controller. Since we simulate ATC positions under the FAA, we don't typically do it.

Bingo.

I completely agree with everything that has been stated in this thread.  To add to the discussion, sometimes when I get home from work/school, I have an urge to control, sometimes I have an urge to fly and sometimes I just don't want to do anything with VATSIM. That being said, I will control until I either get tired, bored, or annoyed (sometimes the pilots make us frustrated). Also, when I am controlling, I cannot tell you when I'm going to get off. Lately, I've been running around 2 hour sessions (which is about what they do in the real world) but it depends on several different factors.

Some controllers will put there log off time in their description, but it is not required.

I hope this sheds a light on the other side of the scopes :)
