I used to be a paramedic in a large USA city and worked either 4 10-hour shifts, or 3 14-hour shifts per week every other month. For instance: January (10 hr): * Mon: 8AM - 6PM * Tue: 8AM - 6PM * Wed: 8AM - 6PM * Thu: 8AM - 6PM * Fri: off * Sat: off * Sun: off February (14 hr): * Mon: 8AM - 10PM * Tue: off * Wed: 8AM - 10PM * Thu: off * Fri: 8AM - 10PM * Sat: off * Sun: off I loved that schedule since I never had fewer than 3 days off, and every other month I had 4 days off. But I still had at least 2 consecutive days off every week no matter which month rotation I was on. It was great.
