Working, have been since 1978. There's something called the Baylor Plan for hospital nurses. Work every Sat/Sun 12.5 hrs per day, get paid full time wages with full benefits (except accrue paid time off only for the actual hours worked). The plan was designed to maintain a reliable weekend work force, no calling in sick with a hangover, etc.
Every once in awhile when I get overstaffed and have a weekend day off, I hate going anywhere, there's people everywhere. Having Mon-Fri off gives me the freedom to go just about anyplace and enjoy the half-empty stores, plus be able to make an appt with a dentist or whatever without having to juggle it into an already full week working as others do. Plus get to spend time babysitting my 2 young grandsons while my daughter-in-law tutors kids after school.
Definitely works for me or I wouldn't have maintained the schedule as long as I have. About the only thing I really miss out on are the occasional festivals that usually occur on the weekend.
