Four Day Work Week? - Page 3

Let's see, I got to work this morning at 8:30 am and left at 10:30 pm. I'd take it in a heartbeat, even if it was only in the summer. Membership may have its privileges but it sucks sometimes too.

Go for it.

As one MBWorld.org member lovingly said,

"Doooooo iiiiit..."

Sounds like perfection. Only drawback may be rush hour.

Sounds like a good deal. You'll be saving some bucks on gas but the real bonus is that extra day. Too bad it can't always be a Friday or a Monday. Perhaps you and your boss can each pick one of those days so you both always get a 3 day weekend.

An alternative is a 9/80 schedule where you work 9 hours a day and get every other Friday or Monday off.

Or you can work 9 hr days and have 3 day weekends every other week. Darn it woman, just do it so that you can spend more time with your cows.

Well, that's part of the problem, too...the show cattle need to be rinsed every night. Right now I get home between 4:30 & 4:45 and have four hours to get everything done before it gets dark. If I change the schedule, I'd be getting home around 6:30 depending on traffic.

I'd be willing to comsume five EXTRA gallons a week if I could have a 4 day work week.

Countless people are working 9-12+ hour days, 5 days a week or more, with no extra pay.

You are in a great position. Enjoy it.

Ok guys...my new schedule starts next week!

My off-day each week is Thursday. (Disasters around here happen on Mondays and Fridays, so I knew going into this that my off-day would be Thursday.)

I'll be working 7:00am-5:00pm. On weeks with a holiday, I'll work four 8-hour days.

Wish I was a show cow - 4 hour sponge bath by M

Enjoy the 4 day week, I did it when consulting a while back and it was awesome.
