My office used to offer the option of the four ten-hour workdays during the summer. Did not work quite the way they expected - people would come in early and require time and copious coffee to get going. Then their brains would pretty much shut off at the usual quitting time. It ended up with people actually working fewer hours.

That's been discontinued for a variety of reasons.

I've been watching the big-ass storm getting closer on radar. It's very dark here, but no rain yet. The worst of it might be going slightly north of Evanston at the moment.

My brain shuts off an hour before quitting time. Obviously, Jesus wants me to work 7-hour days....

We got rain here!

Actually, that's being mild--we've got monsoon here!

Yeah, and dthe sky is like night-time dark.

It just got a little bit lighter, but it's still raining and lightning out there, so I'm going to wait another few minutes before heading over to the bookstore for the evening.

It's very dark here, but the nasty cell is going North of us so far. But we'll get gotten by the somewhat less nasty yet much larger cell that's coming right after....

Yeah, you can see the other cell coming into the frame on the "moving" weather map.

If Jesus wants you to work a 7-hour day, wouldn't it be to your advantage to work 4x10, and get three hours of Jesus-sanctioned blowing-off time per day instead of just one?

Seriously, I know people who have voluntarily gone to 4x10 schedules, either to save a day's commuting gas or for life balance reasons, but it really shouldn't be something they decide for you. That part sucks.
