At the end of October I started something called the "compressed schedule". This is Four-10 hour days, Monday through Thursday with EVERY Friday off. Is it worth it..?? Good question.
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/fastened_stitched_and_buttoned/3041702154/)That first week I worked, those days were so long (and still are) but when Friday came- Hallelujah!!!!-- it was soooooo worth it!!! But sad to say that was the last Friday I had off. Overtime is offered almost every weekend (which means I can work on Friday) and it also means 2 things: A) I can get paid time and a half or B) I can just work for hours to build up my leave. So basically I've been working 40+ hours a week, but getting my full weekend with Saturday and Sunday. I'm starting to think.. is it really worth it??? It's a nice option to have and I enjoy having my Friday's flexible, but I'm debating of whether or not I will do this for the next quarter... the 10 hour days are wearing on me (but Z has been sooo super supportive and helpful by serving me and loving me well, so that's a plus!) I just think it's too hard at times to say no to extra money or extra hours. I try to limit myself on Friday's and not work the whole day, but still, it is a long week...I'll see how this next month or so goes....
