    Some people do that as well, normally find the trains are busier on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a lot of the time you can't get hold of people on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

To change this I would like to alter the working week so that instead of doing 5 8 hour days we all do 4 10 hour days, making each Wednesday a mini mid week 'week end' So you'd do 2 days, have a day off, do 2 days have 2 days off. This would have the added advantage of making Tuesday into a mini Friday - making a rubbish day into quite a good one! This would alsoy help the pub industry as it would give a mid week peak in people going out.

    feint with the left, follow through with the right.

    seriously good luck, but remember its only money. You don't want to end up depressed in your council bedsit with the dreams of being a Gigolo in tatters like some others.
