Two of my cousins worked at a plant down in the Modesto or Merced area, 
don't remember which, where they worked what they called alternating 4/10s. 
They had folks work M-Th on week one and T-F on week two.  And repeated 
those 2 weeks.  They loved it because every other week they had a 4 day 
weekend plus they had weekdays off every week where they could do 
doctor/dentist appointments, do their banking and stuff like that.  Sherry 
said that the company reduced absenteeism by over 95%.
