I figured Troy wouldn't be far behind me. I'm just trying to keep up with the snarkiness level here on Seattlest, and failing miserably.

ZING! And ruffhauser, it's still the same amount of gov't, just less frequent. :)

I thought sweeping generalizations were the answer to all of society's ills.

I thought more government was the answer to all of societies ills? People who inhabit this board sure seem to feel that way.

Actually, studies have shown greater productivity with four 10's. But I'm so sick of our work ethic in this country. Work to death, too few holidays, holidays where we work or rush back to work. Note the stronger economies of the world kind of do it a bit more relaxingly? Sure, they're taxed out the wang-chung but they have a better life. Herehere! gasstationdogs!

I'd much prefer four ten hour work days and have a three day weekend.

They're doing 10-hour shifts: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is not a dumb question. 10 hours is a lot, and I doubt that, long-term, productivity will equal what it was before. Of course, we are talking about gov't jobs, so, low bar there. (Ha! I kid because I love.)

Looks like it's four ten-hour days, though with state employees, that probably translates to about four six-hour days.

Are we talking 4 10 hour days or 4 8 hour days? The article doesn't specify. Is this a dumb question? My dream is a national 32 hour work week, that's why I ask.
