In the Netherlands, where a 36 hour work-week is pretty standard, it usually means 4.5 days, so one day you work half and go home earlier. Another common scheme is to alternate 4x8 and 5x8 work weeks. But I suppose most bosses would not mind if you want to keep an even different schedule as long as it adds up and doesn't inconvenience the rest of the team.

I didn't think of the 6x6 work week when I wrote my first comment, just the 35-week used in France. I guess the 6x6 is what I was promoting (i.e. less hours per day rather than less days), but taken to a greater extreme.
