as a new job “perk” at a hospital I get to choose what days I work: because I get differential if I work weekends, I wrote I want to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Now I wonder if I should have chosen Mondays and Fridays. On Mondays people act all stressed out (beginning of the week) and on Fridays they’re also insufferable (they all want to go home ASAP)

I’ve never inverted my weekend like this so if you ever worked like I’m about to, how was it? Any drawbacks?

    I also second that having 2 days off in a row, is better to recharge.

    Now as far as making them not the weekend…

    Pros:

    Great for all the millions of takes forever tasks that can only be done durring business hours… need to update your drivers license, have any taxes, negotiate with the bank on things, or anything else that can only be done mon-friday in business hours… fricking awesome ease of options.

    As also mentioned, socializing is the drawback… want to meet with a friend, date etc… well that’s a bit less fun, best bet is to do it on a worknight but still be ready to come home early enough to not be dead on your ass at work.
