Yin and Yang. Life and Death. Joy and Sorrow. "Congratulations, you made it to the weekend" and:
My partner and I work 4 10s. She gets Friday off and I get Monday off. I think I get the better end of the deal not coming in on Mondays.
To me getting a Friday off feels like getting two Saturdays. Monday off feels like getting two Sundays.
I prefer Fridays off since it feels like the weekend is ramping up for 2 days instead of winding down for 2.
The mind is a weird thing - both scenarios are basically the same.
One of the very few benefits to working weekends is reveling in the beginning of my time off while the rest of the world bemoans the end of theirs.
