I used to work 4x10 hour days, Sun-Wed, 2nd shift. It was OK, but I was ecstatic when I was finally able to move to a normal 9-5 Mon-Fri schedule. It's so much nicer to have society's expectations of when you are meant to be working to match when you are actually working.

What was it like, by the way, out of curiosity?

Working that schedule? It was great for some stuff (going out Fridays) but bad for others. For example I was taking night classes at the time and constantly had to beg for help with coverage because 7pm is not early enough release to make it to most night classes, which tend to begin then or a little earlier. I also didn't get to see my wife as much because she worked first shift, so only we had breakfast and an hour before bed on M-W.

It was definitely much better than 11p-7a Sat-Wed which I had worked immediately before that.
