Who works 4x10 rather than 5x8?
 
Any tips on getting through the day quicker?

I just took my lunch 9 hours into my shift, but I don't think I could do this every day.

You don't have to do it every day. Just 4 days straight. ;)

I wish I could work two 2x20's

I was working 4x12 and I took my lunch/dinner breaks 6-8 hours onto my shift.

Everybody interprets the passage of time differently. Not sure there's an easy answer.

Have you tried cocaine?

I'm working 4 10s and love it. It's great having a 3 day weekend every week.

Find a quiet and secluded place and take a nap for a couple hours out of the day. This way the day feels shorter and you will be more refreshed.

I work like 4x7's and 1x5ish

stay busy, don't watch clock.

I work what's called a 9/80.

Week 1: 4x9, 1x8
Week 2: 4x9

It's awesome because you get a friday every other week to take care of whatever business you need to. I rarely have to use my vacation days for stuff.

I don't even notice the extra hour...I'm usually here closer to 10 hours most days anyway (depending on what is going on of course).

Here's how you deal with longer days: stay busy. If you are bored the days will seem loooonnnggg.

A couple of months ago I worked 7x12 for about 3 months straight. That sucked incredible balls.

Terrible idea... a quick burst followed by hours of antsy agony, unless you have a lot of it.

Downers are my recommendation. LMAO

4/10 is way better in my opinion.

CoMoChief 08-20-2012 04:25 PM

I work 4x10 now and I ****in love it. 8am-7pm Mon-Thurs, Every week is a 3-day weekend for me. Yes the days are very long at times, but it's worth having that Fri off.

Man is it worth it. LMAO

Dunit35 08-20-2012 04:26 PM

4x10 is awesome. I get 3 days off a week and it is well worth it.

NewChief 08-20-2012 04:41 PM

Phone with 3G data plan, secluded bathroom, girly thread.

In all seriousness, I work 5x10, plus a freelance job at night, plus my wife has opened a business that I feel like is my third job, plus I got 2 kids. No sympathy.
