I totally agree. Actually, I read somewhere that supposedly people are more productive on a 4 day/10 hour shift than they are an 8 hour 5 day shift. I believe it. The extra two hours wouldn't be so bad if you were going to get another day off out of the deal.
That depends what you do and what the schedule is like. I have that option here because of the nature of our business hours, but I tried it once for about two days and couldn't hack it. I thought I wouldn't feel the extra hour (I already work 9 hours a day 4 days of the week), but I sure did, especially since it meant having to be here at 10:00 in the morning (whereas at the moment I'm here at 11 and for the hours in effect when I was first hired, which is what I wanted and adjusted to, it was 12:30 pm!).
I just want to have 4 days period, that is, a 36-hour (or less) workweek...
I've done tech support shifts that were 10 and 12 hours long without a problem. It's pretty stationary, so I can deal with it. The worst shift ever was the 30 hour shift I ended up pulling when I was having to edit and code web pages for surveys back in Vegas. Now, that was pretty rough -- don't want to ever do that again. I swear, ASP started turning into runes afterawhile.:)
