    I work an extremely physical job. I get home on friday, basically become a vegetable, saturday is a blur if I go out an do anything, and I just start to feel rested and like I want to get up and do stuff on sunday. Of course, i have to go to bed early to make my commute the next day. 2 days off is flat out not enough, and I would really prefer to not give up other aspects of my life just to have free time I can actually take advantage of.

    This works in Netherlands and a number of other European countries, without cutting pay. We should be able to figure it out. Should.

      I smell ya! I used to work 12 hour shifts of manual labor. First day off was always spent with a huge headache. What a waste.
