Default Flex schedule for a work week.

Ok I have Windows XP and am working with Outlook 2003 so you all know what I
am working with.

I work a flex schedule so some days I am in the office earier or later then
others and I want to set up my work week to reflect that in Outlook. I can
only seem to set one certain start and end time for specific days. Is it
possible to set it up for the following?:

Sunday 6pm - 8pm
Monday 5am -3:30pm
Tuesday 5am -2:30PM
Wednesday 5am -2:30pm
Thursday: 5am - 11am
Friday: 5am - 9am

Thank you all for your help!

No its not possible to so it using the 'working hours' setting in outlook.
If you need to show people when you are available via Free/busy, set up
tentative appointments for the working hours - use a subject such as 'I'm
available for appointments'

I have a similar situation, and I just create appointments for myself that
show as "out of office" for the times I'm not available. For example, I work
7-3 on Mondays, so I mark my calendar as "out of office" from 3-5 pm so no
one will book a meeting with me during that time. If my company's working
hours went until 8 pm, I'd mark myself as out for 3-8 pm.
