    I work a rotating 12 hour schedule, and the total time away from home with the commute is 14.5 hours per day. The longest stretch on either days or nights is 4 shifts, and by the time they are done I am ready for a few days off. Our "shit week" consists of working Fri/Sat/Sun days, off on Mon, then nights for Tue/Wed/Thurs. Thats 72 hours at the jobsite (87 hours away from home) in 1 calendar week. It sucks. Cant do anything and you miss alot of the family/school events. The "bright side" of 12's are that I get 7+ days off in a row every month, and I am a union member and get 16 hours of built-in overtime pay (1.5x) every month (28 day cycle).

    Oh yeah, I would definetly do the 10's though if they were offered.

    Did it and loved it. I got to spend a lot more time with my son when he was a baby. SOOOO happy I did.
    4 day weeks rock.
