I would gladly move to 10 hour days for four days. Hell I'd do 12 hours for 3 days

Just as long as you don't try to do 40 hours in one day... (heck, why not... we have multi-tasking now....)

But really, I'll believe 4 day work weeks when I see them. They will always find something wasteful for people to do to eat up the hours even if we do become on the whole more efficient. Besides, all the insurance people and real estate people will still hang out chatting for 60+ hours and then tell everyone they work 60 hours a week. (My girlfriend is a realtor...that's how I know what they do. She doesn't understand why she can't just call to chat anytime while I'm at work because... I'm working! And no, I probably can't "work" 60 hours a week for an extended period of time. But given the choice, I'd prefer to have to work 60 hours a week rather than have to chat 60 hours a week.... so I say they deserve their money!)
