San Francsico local 6 proposed a 10hr/4 day work week; Sat- Mon off. The electricians voted it down. My dad never understood why. As a kid, neither did I understand why anyone wouldn't want hours like this. By the way, getting to the job site is 60% of the hassle, the rest is boring construction. I honestly think all jobs would benefit from just getting rid of Mondays? Two days off is just not enough time; unless you have no life and live through your job. The problem is many of us do not even remotely like our job, or our felllow workers. We hate coming in and seeing the the same people--especially the one's who haven't realized this is no dress rehearsal. We were born and we die--it's a simple equation. A great line I heard out of a movie, 'Give me a hair cut that says I go to a job I hate, only to adorn my spoild wife with consumer crap, and keep my ungrateful kids adorned in expensive jeans for the next thirty years; until I get the courage to blow my head off with a shotgun.' Extreme statement, but rang true with me. Oh yea, to every girlfriend who claimed to love their job-- Great--get your MBA. Put on the pants suit. Climb the ladder. It's my turn to stay home and take care of the spawn. Me and the kids want electronic toys. It's O.K. if your working late, or go to china for Apple. Just send us the checks! We'll be fine. (In all honestly, I think people(especially Americans) want what they can't have, and don't know when they are offered a good deal.)
