This. Kinda like pleading no contest though... noooooooo it's not an admission of guilt.

Fridays alternate from being off to working only 8 hours. I love this schedule because I rarely have to use vacation to get things done like appointments, etc since I can just use my off Friday. Also, if I want to take a short trip, that is easy to do too without using vacation. The only drawback is that the weeks with our working Fridays seem exceedingly long. :D

Oh, and the extra hour at work is unnoticable.
YES. I am on the same schedule right now with every other friday off. It's nice on the 4 day weeks.

10 hour days kick ass. 3 day weekend every week to go to the lake.

by the time I get home at night, I'm tired as hell with no motivation to do anything around the house and go to bed really early.

Then on the day off that I have, I find myself catching up on all the thing I put off during the week.

There is pros/cons to the 8hr and 12hr days.
sure, there are always tradeoffs...

but my commute is 3 mins, i'm single, and mostly it seems to me that the type of work i have is best dealt with in intense chunks of effort...i waste a lot of time doing administrative tasks while waiting for project decisions...i could do the administrative stuff in a day or two but have to stretch it over a week to keep the appearance of being busy...

On days like today, I have to lecture for 6 hours. I'm currently on a break between classes, so now I'm grading papers. Once I'm done with lecture for the day, I'll end up doing reading and course prep for tomorrow. Wednesdays are 12-15 hour days, but most other days are like 6 hour days.

"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. "

Do you think technology will make it so that in the next 5-10 years you won't have to actually travel to those places?

Yeah, good point.

Um, I get at least 10 hours work done in 8 hours. My productivity is through the roof. I just work and work and even when I get home, I still work. Yup, I do more than anyone else around me, that's for sure.

Doubt it.

Nothing takes the place of seeing things first hand in person, and being 5-10 ft from someone while you are discussing/negotiating.

I'm old school. I want to be in front of someone, talking to them, as I take money out of their back pocket:D

I don't get as much done as I could some days, but make up for it on the short, hard deadlines that require long, braincrushing hours.
This.

An Awesome amount.

I work in sales, so its totally dependent on people coming in.

I've worked many a 12 hour shift & not talked to a soul... passing my time with crossword puzzles, newspapers, magazines, self-applied manicures & the like. Except, NO COMPUTERS! when the owner is around (5 1/2 days a week usually) :cuss:... he's SO old fashioned about that, i think he'd rather we literally jerk off on slow days than surf the web, or Planet.

Other days, i hardly have time to catch my breath... its kind of a feast or famine thing.
