    4x10

    ok, here's the deal:
    my job just changed to a four-tens work week. normally this would be a pretty cool thing for most jobs.....BUT.....
    for my job, it's unfreakinbelievably sizick out of control badass.
     
    check it out:
    my normal work day goes from 8-5 where the system automatically takes out an hour for a break, so i would get paid for 8 hours/day 5 days/week. i go to work at 8 and usually go get breakfast after chatting with some of my buddies that work in the office for about an hour. then i go do a couple of jobs, (a job means im actually doing some work for about 15 minutes). i go home for lunch and playing on the computer and chatting with my friends that are actually working in their offices. then i go do a couple more jobs and i'm usually home no later than 3. i'm technically on call for the whole 8-5 time but they pretty much close down our incoming work at about 3ish.
     
    now they've changed us to 4x10 schedule. now my normal work day goes from 7:30-6 with 30 minutes subtracted for a break, so i would get paid for 10 hours/day 4 days/week. everything else that i just typed up above stays exactly the same. i still "work" from 8-3ish, but now i only do it 4 times/week rather than 5...and still get paid the same.
    as an added bonus, my days off are always back to back...this means that i have 3 and 4 day weekends all over the schedule. some week ill have fri/sat/(closed on sun) as my days off. then some weeks ill have fri/sat/sun/mon, sat/sun/mon/tue, i guess its even possible to have fri/sat/sun/mon/tues...the last two days of one wek and the first two days of the next week, giving a 5 day weekend.
     
    i'm pretty much locked into this job now. as if it wasn't already easy enough. how could i ever go work any place else now?
    company car for commuting to and from work, gas card, then i drive around for about 4 hours, work for about 2 hours, and get paid for 10 hours.
     
    i mean, im sure i could be putting my genious to such better use and be making more money, but come on, is it really worth it?
