So the Province wants to save 3 million a year by making us silly servants work 10 hour days and have a 4 day work week…..let me be the first to say f*ck that. The 7.5 hours that I put in a day at this sh*thole are quite enuff thanks….

A four day week sounds pretty sweet but it’ll never happen. Not with the Fiddler and His Fiddlin’ Henchmen, despite the fact that the Legislature is always on hiatus.
Jesus jumpin’ Mary and Joseph, you’d say NO to a four day work week??The way I see it is that most people put in 10 hours a day anyway (Bitchin’ time aside…), so why not take advantage??I say bring it on!!
I’d do that in a heart beat! Jammie’s right, most of us already clock that as it is….plus frankly I really don’t think I’d notice two extra hours a day, you know? but I DEFINATLY would notice a 4 day weekend! imagine what you could do with that? the endless sweet bliss of that? ok now I want EVERYONE to do this…..
omg.. a four day work week! SIGN ME UP!!! Even thought I’m litterally continplating (sp?) suicide by the 8th hour at work, I could just get a little more creative in the last 2 hours! Hollllllaaaaa!! Would LOOOVE a long weekend, EVERY WEEKEND!!!
I think the 4 day week is great, especailly when you can get an extra day with the family instead of the couple of hours each night, which usually inlcude activties such as cleaning/cooking dinner/putting kids to bed. It will never happen, though.
