Apparently worked in England:

NGL - I wouldn't mind having Wednesdays off.

Never working more than 2 days in a row, one day during the week to get stuff done, a proper weekend to relax.

Seems like a win/win.

I've been thinking about working Mon-Thu and Tue-Fri on alternate weeks so that every other weekend would be four days long. I think it would be better for me personally.

I could see that.

Mon-Thur (Fri-Mon)
Tue-Fri (Sat-Sun)

So you'd never have WORSE than a normal weekend, but still get one day during the week to, I dunno, go to the DMV or get an oil change or whatever.

thats more or less what one of my coworkers does. the advantage is that after coming off a day off, people are more refreshed, rather than working all the days straight and slowing down as you approach the weekend.

it sucks of course for vacation planning (less flexible) but its definitely better for mental/physical stress
