State employees********** Don't they already get something like 90 days off per year due to holidays********** (insert sarcasm emoticon here)

At the day job I work a 4-1/2 day work week, four 9's and 4 hours on Fridays. Jumping to a 4x10 would be great, but word is the company keeps thinking of going to a 5x8 format which would kill my Friday afternoon which I use to do the stuff I can't do during the rest of the week. If I loose my Friday afternoon then I'll have to do errands on Saturday mornings before noon which would kill the weekend.

I've got an indirect relative who works Tuesday-Thursday and has Friday-Monday off, that would be nice. I could get in lots of bicycle riding then.
