With the current reduced workload, we don't have much overtime, so my manager suggested I go to 4 -10's or only 4 days on site anyway, so I have the day off, as I have my time in for the week. My daily task that I was doing has finally gotten assigned to a more appropriate individual ( only took 5 years) . It was basically data entry, and having an engineer do it is kinda pricey, and a waste of resource... So I don't have to worry about that now.

Morning Roger! I miss being on 4-10's, I loved that schedule! Nice thing also, cuts down on the miles you'll have to commute. Saved me about 256 miles a month. I hated going back to 5-8's.

That was his point pretty much, I can save miles and the time lost on commute. I of course knew that, but didn't feel right going for it myself, but am taking him up on his offer. I love having a flexible schedule... That may change in the future, but for now, I will enjoy it!

So, do you get to choose your day off? I always like have Mondays off better. Made the weekend feel longer. Friday off always made the week feel shorter.

They had us switch every 4 weeks. Nice thing about that, ever other month, you only had a 2 day weekend, but the opposite months, you got a 4 day weekend!
