If I could WFH I'd do the 4 10s or even 3 12s in a heartbeat though!

DH has this schedule actually, but he has so much work to do he spends his day off working from home. At least it a beats his 2 hour commute. mediagirl on "Would you rather work four 10 hour days, or five 8 hour days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-work-four-10-hour-days-or-five-8-hour-days#post-690346 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:03:01 +0000 mediagirl 690346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With my commute, if I worked 4 10's, I'd never see M. I have to pick 5 8 hour days. But really, I work 5 8.5 hour days (with a half hour lunch). I wish I could work 8 hours with no lunch!

Long shifts have their advantages and disadvantages. loveisstrange on "Would you rather work four 10 hour days, or five 8 hour days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-work-four-10-hour-days-or-five-8-hour-days#post-690063 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:37:43 +0000 loveisstrange 690063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 4 10s!

So after becoming a mom, I switched to having a normal schedule and worked about 7 - 7.5 hrs x 5 days. Allowed me to have plenty of QT each and every evening, plus weekends. That was ideal for us at the time!
