It's a bonus, sure, but I feel sorry for you if the shortening of a work-week is more enjoyable than the lengthening of a weekend. Especially when that usually means a vacation.

I've always said the same thing. First you get a long weekend, then the work week seems short. You feel good from Friday through the Sunday 9 days later.

Yes, especially now since we get to leave early on Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

I think that's why the OP said "second best part".


Even better is next week will be another 4-day week for me, since I'm taking 6 days off work for vacation starting Friday.

What a pointless question. Is there even an option for "third best part"?

I don't really agree.. it makes the 4 days a lot more stressful having to catch up on things that didn't get done that Monday.

did you miss the part where OP said "second best part"?

Obviously the extended weekend is the best part, but the resulting shortened work week is also pretty damn good.

Everyone I've talked to LOVES 4 10s simply because they don't have to take as much time off if they want to go on vacation and they get 3 days off in a row. :)

Agree with this!!! 3-day work week following a 4 day weekend with a 3-day weekend right behind it is nothing but awesome.
