But that would require getting up and talking to them.

Okay, I'm so avoiding what I need to be doing, and what I really should do is just ask for clarification.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our summer hours don't result in extra time off -- because of the way my department works it we actually work an extra hour every week. (We alternate Fridays off for 8 weeks, but work 9-6 instead of 9:30-5:30 the rest of the week.)
I think it's set up this way so that by Labor Day we're all sick of coming in early and are happy to start working 5 days a week again if it means sleeping in a little.

Then shout, "GETOFFAMYLAWN!" from your desk. That should work, too.
My university is closed on Fridays starting in June - but it means we have to work extra hours the rest of the week.
My brother in law's response would be to quack occassionally. And otherwise act as though everything were normal.
Get a pencil sharpener and/or paper shredder, and just happen to use it whenever people are congregating....

So I should get Pete to come down?

Oh dear. Now I really want to do this.

Of course the idea that one gets any extra time off for any given season...well, let's just say that Jesse's diamond flip flops may be chafing a bit, and I'm just not going to weep for her.
Yeah, I know... I think the summer hours are left over from years when there were no raises for years on end, so it's a little bonus that doesn't cost the company money.
I do feel the need to reiterate that I've never worked anywhere where annual raises were a given. Four free hours is the least they can do!
Everything always breaks on Friday. It's a conspiracy of technological meltdowns all up in my business.
We get summer-hours kinda like yours, except we get half-days every Friday instead of alternate Fridays off. We also have to make up those four hours during the week by working extra the other days. Theoretically. Ours starts the week after Memorial Day though, and runs to Labor Day. It's nice.
