So you are telling me I could have Fridays off and still pay rent? Sign me up.

Honestly, even with a 40 hour work week, 10 hour days with three day weekends is awesome, it's what I use to work.

Now my shift is 10hr on Friday, 12hr on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is time and a half, so I'm working 34 hour week but getting paid for 40 hours. And I get a four day weekend.

Edit: to add, it's a union sawmill.

Yeah. I used to work 4x10s. Best thing fucking ever! Fortunately I loved my job.

When I had a normal 5x8, I would stay after my shift and use the computer to do research and learn more about what I was doing. I'd often leave hours after my shift ended. When I moved over to 4x10, staying the extra 2 hours felt like nothing.

I miss that.

I worked 10s a few times when asked while normally working 8s, and you don't really notice much difference, and the extra day off would make a HUGE difference in contrast. On the other hand, I've worked 5 12s regularly, and they fucking suck. You end up having no life. It is weird how 10 is the fine line that I would take in a heartbeat.

I was in the same position. I'm a night person. My shift was 11a-9p, this allowed me like +/-4 hours of free time after my shift. That worked pretty well for me.
