I sort of like my 5 X 7 schedule, but during the summer a 4 x 8.75 would be even better. That way I would still put in the normal work load and have a 3 day weekend.

Like I said, I sort of like my regular work schedule. Work an additional 1.75 hours, 4 days a week during the summer and get a 3 day weekend. This way, the county would save the cooling cost of all of the unoccupied buildings over a 3 day period and we get to have 3 days off. Do that from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

That’s pretty much what we’ll be doing. Working straight tens, paid lunch. Holiday weeks, we’ll work straight 8’s.

Morning PA and fellow visitors.

Pat, I saw that Bill posted on FB that he is at Bloomsburg and was having his traditional meal at Quaker Steak.
