  don't you think we've evolved enough to make the work week a four day affair? i mean, so much efficiency, so much technology, and a large percentage of us are still trucking along in the 8-hour-a-day-5-days-a-week rut! how much happier would i be to work a 9 or 10 hour day and have a three-day week end? OMIGOD - i'd be smiling almost all the time. businesses could choose monday or friday as their new weekend day; maybe certain industries set a standard of taking one day or the other. what would that do for our sanity? for the economy? a whole "traditional" week day to get grown-up errands done?
how much more would we travel? eat out? shop? spend dough on home improvement? certain financial institutions in my area currently offer the four-day work week as an option to their employees. sometimes the hours they work are insane, but the people i know who have this seem pretty happy with it. do you have a four day work week? did it change your life? for the better? worse? any ideas about other potential impacts of such a scheme? i'm curious .
