You can use negation

acl workhours MTWHF 08:00-17:00

http_access allow !workhours ...

!workhours matches all time except 08:00-17:00 Monday to Friday.

The current syntax is
# acl aclname time [day-abbrevs] [h1:m1-h2:m2]
i.e. you only need to specify the information you want to match on. If
you want to match on days then you only need to specify which days.

Are you sure? It is a very very old version (more than two years old,
maybe three), has a lot of bugs and is no longer supported. The current
supported version is squid-2.2.STABLE3+official patches, and you are
stronly recommended to upgrade. See http://squid.nlanr.net/ for the
current version.
