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 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.

They offered me that schedule back in 2008. My boss was sure I wouldn't last a week. I'll never go back to 5x8 unless they make me. I save so much vacation it's ridiculous. Plus having every Friday off is just fantastic. Make it work if you can get it. The mornings were not as bad as the afternoons, but if you stick it out it's totally worth it.

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 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.
