I've worked a schedule that fits those parameters for years and it's WONDERFUL. Three-day weekends every other weekend... Make that a four-day when there's a holiday Monday. We work 9 hours M-Th, then 8 on alternate Fridays. Total 80 hrs every two weeks, no time and a half for the 44 hr week, but who cares? Mark up a calendar with alternate Fridays off. Worked four 10s and 12s also and I'd take those above 9/80, unless, and it's a big unless, you have a long commute. If you're working 12s and commuting an hour each way, your life on work days is GONE.
