Am I going to go crazy or just sleep all the time now?? Thanks for any input!! )

If you work in California and are paid hourly (as opposed to being salary), you may run into problems as you are supposed to be paid overtime for each hour worked over 8 hours in a single day. I ran into this problem after I moved here last year and had to go back to 5-8 hour days.

My DH used to work a similar schedule, but MT & ThF were his days, so he never worked more than two days in a row - he LOVED it.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Depends what you do for a living. I often do 12-14 hours a day, 5 days a week and a couple of hours at the weekend.

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I work 9-hr days and then get every other Friday off. I love it! I work 8am-6pm. A lot of people on our base do the four 10-hr days, though, and LOVE IT. I'm sure you will, too!
Originally Posted By LadyKluck I work 4-10's. I work Mon, Tues & Fri, Sat 8am - 7pm. I LOVE working 4-10's. The extra day off is wonderful and I like that I have at least part of the weekend off, plus days off during the week so its easy to schedule Dr. appointments and such that can only be done during the week. I will admit now that I'm getting close to the end of my pregnancy I can't hardly make it the full 10 hours, but I start shorter shifts next week so it won't be as bad for the remainder.

Originally Posted By smedley I work 12hr shifts 0730-1930, and the pattern changes so we get 2 full weekends off a month, it basically works that I do 14 days/nights out of 28 (7days and 7 nights) it means when I'm working it's all I do, but at least I get a lot of days off
Originally Posted By Deogges Mom Like MomofPrincess, I work 9 hour days and have every other Friday off. I love having that Friday off. I'd like to try 4/10, but I think I'd be too wiped out at the end of the day.
Originally Posted By PlainoLJoe I am scheduled to work 7:30am to 4pm. BUt because of a special project I am on until the end of the year, I do 5am - 5:30pm with a 1/2 hour lunch.
