I was able to work 4, 10-hour days in a previous position.  It was great having the extra day off, and an extra day of no commuting cut costs a bit.  What I liked about it the most is that we had a 5-person team and we changed what weekday we each had off every week.  So each of us took Tuesday off this week, Wednesday the next, Thursday the week after that.  So every five weeks we had a four-day weekend; week 4 was Friday and week 5 was Monday.  It only lasted for a year or so, unfortunately.

I do not like their hours of 1am-11:30am. That would be tough to adjust to. I agree they should be getting a healthy shift premium. That said, cry me an effin river. At age 46 I finally have daylight hours though I chose to work a second job until about 10pm.(with shift premium!) I have to be nice to that job because it is way easier to find another FT than to pick up a new PT that pays $26/hr.

Before that I have worked every damn shift I think there is. 5 twelves on night shift was no fun but it took me back to the good old days of 7 twelves.(actually fifteen most of the days). I liked mids from 11pm-7am. Very flexible on when to do stuff and when to sleep. I miss my 4-10s daylight job of recent tomes, but oh well.
