I do 7:30 to 5:30 with a 40 minute lunch. (We don't get paid for lunch.) It's a 9.4 hour day.
It really cuts the evenings short.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
By September, they'll all be longing for that extra hour of sleep, I guarantee it.
I am so filled with hate right now. Work until 6, run errands, go to gym, get home at -- maybe 8? LOTS of together time with one's loved one.
And they're touting it as this Big Great Thing because "the extra day off will allow us to spend more time with loved ones." Uh, except for the part where most people's loved ones work 5-day weeks.
Feh.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
So evil triumphs over cute kids. Ah, well.
Working 4-10's is nice if it is optional. Making it mandatory is rough.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

LOTS of together time with one's loved one.
My summer hours are going to be 7:30-4:30 this year. (Normally they'd be 8-5, but I can't stay that late because D's daycare is only open until 6. Argh.)
I just won 6 bottles of wine of dubious quality from my office using Google! Yay Google!
(The wine in question was going to be thrown out, so instead our office manager let it go for a trivia question. I have no idea how drinkable any of it's going to be - white wine isn't generally known for aging well, and these were stored in a filing cabinet, not a cellar...for 10 years...)

Oh my god. They're acting like it's the Second Goddamn Coming, and I'm ignorant for not preferring it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

oh dear. I would open the first bottle at work so you can throw them all right in the trash instead of lugging them home only to find out they're spoiled.

Trust my rage
Steph, I think that's really wrong. What about people who have other commitments? 9-80 (only every other Friday off) is way easier, in my opinion. Like Jess, I would have been screwed if that had been mandatory in my job. Ellie's daycare only allowed kids to spend 10 hours there per day (on a regular basis). Plus, what about pets at home and stuff?

That's a good idea, actually. I wonder if anyone here has a corkscrew.
