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.

Yep, I'm doing 4 days a week atm. Wednesday has become my day off of choice.Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostNo - taking Friday off is not the thing...Take wednesday off and the working week is split into 2 bite sized workable chunks. When I went to school in Holland we used to have each Wednesday afternoon off. That meant Wednesday was a day to look forward and not just something that let you know you were half way there

At least on Monday you have the excuse of settling in back after the weekend and speaking to people about your weekend. Tuesday, that has all gone and you are still a long way from the weekend. 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.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostMiserable Tuesday. Back to the US again. This could be the straw.
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.
