Just out of interest if your company gave you a choice to either work 9am to 5pm monday to friday
or say work an extra 1.5 hours per day but have every friday off which would you go for
the normal 5 day working week or a 4 day week but with a bit more time put in each of those 4 days .. all other things being equal, e.g. time, etc

i have had this choice before,
* 7.45-6 mon to thurs or
* 9-6 mon - thurs and work 6-10 on a fri.
it means you get a 3 day weekend, think of the extended drunkenness :thumb:
I don't see why the world can't just work 4 days a weeks and have 3 days off, and just work an extra hour or so anyway on those 4 days.
Think of the pollution we'd save, 1 day less a week of people driving in their cars to and from work
At least weekend makes more sense now
I bet you don't get deathly bored working in a hospital though, not alot of down time. maybe time goes fast. Working 13.5 hours in retail or something, now I'd not even give no way in hell a second thought
At my work the week starts on Friday...
With the extra day more people can go on short city breaks, have more time to visit friends and family.
Most city works I know work longer then 9am to 5pm anyway, and the extra is either overtime or sometimes not even paid, why not make it official time and have an extra day off instead.
My friend works 8am to 5pm at his work and on fridays he only works until midday - but seeing as some people have to drive long distances to get to work seems silly to me coming in for just half a day.
I ment on calenders.
Does your 8-5 buddy get a one hour lunch? Alot of the places I've worked dont count your lunch so its 8 hours + that
The boyfriend works a 7 hour day which includes an hour... sometimes 2 lunch grrrrr
Edit now
Oh you butthead, i swear there was something about being brave enough in there
There was.
But it read wrong and I can't think well enough to rephrase it properly
Cant wait until I am a lazy layabout student....
This week I have done: 72 hours work and placement. All on top of studying and writing an essay whilst trying to have a life!
We need to become a lot more productive, not work longer. The Norwegians work a 25-28hr working week on average and produce significantly more than us each.
I'm sorry, it's probably because I have exams and I'm grouchy, but it didn't sound like you're joking and I resent being called lazy.
