Replying to a message of Bob Klahn to Mimi Gallandt:

 BK>  They are based on the theory of the 5 day work week. Those of us  who
 BK> haven't worked a 5 day week in 35 years get used to it.

Best work schedule I ever had was four ten hour shifts/week.  Friday night through
Monday night (I prefer graveyard).  3 day weekend every week, and on *my* weekend
everybody else was at work, so the parks and anyplace else I wanted to go weren't
crowded (in fact they were usually deserted).  Had that schedule nearly ten years and
loved it.
