Yup. I love Monday on a holiday.
Pretty much, just starting back after having two days off that gets to you. Monday is the worst though, cause normally you have 5 days of work for the week after the weekend. I can tolerate a Tuesday after a break since in the back of my mind I remember it's a 4 day week. Mondays before a holiday aren't so bad cause you know that it's a short week too.
I am a full advocate for four 10 hour workdays and three day weekends!

This thread needs some Garfield.
That is something I strongly agree with.

A lot of people do that already. i know here there are a whole bunch of people over in the call center that were offered it over the last year and jumped on the chance and took it. Unfortunately, not being in that part of the business, I was not offered it over here in our deptartment.
I know I would personally leap at the chance were it offered.

I should mention this at my next management meeting. An optional 4 day, 10 hour workweek. If it fucks up others' schedules they can stick to a 5 day traditional workweek. It might actually save us some money in reagent costs and electricity etc...
I already tack on 12 hours total (4 hours commute) I wouldn't mind 2 more hours a day if it gave me an extra break day.
In this phallocentric culture, mondays are hated because they are the day devoted to the moon, wich symbolizes everything feminine.

[/QUOTE]Hey. It makes up for last week's Monday.
8 hour shift at the food bank, then 12 hours overnight at homecare, leading into another 8 hours on Tuesday at the Food bank.

Right now, I hate mondays the most.
Get up go to school at 9:30 thru 3:00 break for an hour, go to work from 4:00 to 9:00.

I hate any day of the week that I have to work on.
Mondays eff up my work schedule. I can't get shit done on Mondays b/c I have class + journal club + seminar speaker. That leaves me ~ 2 hrs before 5 to get stuff started/done. I have to come in on Sundays to make up for Mondays. So, Sundays are my true Mondays. I hate Mondays. So, here I am at work, and I will be here til ~ 1am.

Since I basically work seven days a week, monday is just an ordinary please-kill-me-day

The trouble with this is that there's a good chance your wife/girlfriend/best friends etc. won't have that day off, so you can end up giving up the time you might spend with them in the evening just so that you can get an extra day off on your own.
Works for some people, but not others. I'm not sure which I would prefer.
Because Monday's suck. One of the busiest days of the week for me (Wednesday being the worst), having to catch up on two days of backlog, having duties that are performed on Monday's only that just take up time and are only "productive" in the sense that they are done, and really, they just suck.
