Due to one of the curiosities of educational scheduling -- my 40 hr. week ends on Thursday night, after four consecutive 10 plus hour days. Sometimes I come in on Friday's as well, just to clean up my desk but on most weeks, not so.
This strange configuration actually haunts the work schedule throughout the week -- since our department also has several members whose schedules don't follow the four day norm. Sometimes it is literally impossible to get things done, to move things up the chain of command; literally because we won't see that administrator or assistant until the weekend has passed. Yikes. This is kind of a bureaucracy that wants to be inefficient.
Carlos Sims has called for the 30 hr. per week work week. I say "yes." That means my Wednesday would be my Friday -- there's an idea I could live with.
