Double Journey: Exactly what I mean by not wanting to have less holidays! Laura: Me too :) I'd love 4 day weeks. As it works out now, I work 9-10 hours a day anyway! Mark: You probably don't want to know where I work! :) I would be so happy if I got paid overtime since I can work every other year :D ningpo: Good luck on your site!!!

Where do you work at anyways? At least you get the day off after Thanksgiving, I don't. Althought I do get 10 paid holidays which includes Veterans Day and not the day after Thanksgiving. I actually have the option to work on the holidays and use the holiday pay within a 30 day range instead. Another side benefit to working on the holiday is I get paid overtime so it pays to be smart about holiday pay. Wow, that is a bummer. Where do you work at anyways?

Then I'd have three day weekends. I'd free less stressful as I'd do errands on Fridays and relax on the weekends for real. :) I would like to work 10 hours Monday thru Thursdays.

In all seroiusness, I prefer to work longer hours all at once, and then have more days off. Doesn't really apply to me though. In all my years of working, I've never taken more than a week off in consecutive days. I prefer to take a day here, and then a day there.

I think the extra money we get for working overtime makes one more happy. I like working longer hours and more paid vacations.

I'm living in Holland and although I am enjoying the fact that we have more vacation and more holidays, I really miss sharing some of those with people who appreciate the tradition. I've just called the shop to go pick up our turkey and the man said, "I thought you ment December 23rd!" so, we're on the look out to still pull this turkey day out of the water, we're celebrating this saturday. Happy Thanksgiving! > picture I know what you mean.
