As I read through the notes, the one thing I really liked was the 4 day work week. Three days off just makes sense? I belonged to a union, and we had the opportunity to work 4 10hr. days, and the members voted it down. I still don't know why they voted it down.

I worked in a wafer fab for a summer and we did four 12 hour days and then three days off. And then three days of work and four off.

It was by far one of my favorite schedules. I rode my bike to work and that was about 45 minutes each way and when you add in the time it takes to get ready for work it was nice to only have to do that 50% of my days. And with four day breaks I was able to really get into projects or go camping for a long time.

I like it. I have half the week where I can goof off and do whatever, and then 4 days of graveyard shifts. It works out quite nicely, especially when paired with the benefits offered. To each their own.
