And to extend this tenuous thread even further, I'm a salaried contractor, and for me a day off is when nothing is coming in the in-box. I actually would prefer a four-day work week to a six-hour day. One day less to ride the same old routes, and one extra day to explore elsewhere, including one more day for a long ride.

I am fortunate that way, and I’m OK with my five plus half dayx2 work week. And I have a great commute that gives me a destination to ride on weekends.
